Sažetak
The possibility of using the geostationary satellite data in forest fire detection and monitoring over Croatian region is tested here. In the previous years the possibility of detecting fires from satellite was tested only for the largest fires such as the one around the city of Dubrovnik, beginning of August 2007 but also on a small but devastating fire on the island Kornat on 30 August 2007, whereas in this work all known fires in Croatia from the fire season 2009 are examined. Data set is based on fire-records from Croatian protection and rescue agency. All recorded fires were compared to 3.9μm satellite images and RGB combinations as well as MPEF active fire monitoring product (FIR). The results of the analysis are not promising, since only about 7 % of actual fires were detectable in 3.9μm channel data.
