Abstract

The paper considers a remote method for determining the occurrence of forest fires (FF) from thunderstorms in Yakutia. FF data (Npix - the number of «fire» pixels) was obtained using a MODIS/Terra, Aqua spectroradiometer (confidence level from 80-100%) of the FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System, https://earthdata.nasa.gov/data/near-real-time-data/firms). Lightning discharge data - WWLLN (World Wide Lighting Location Network, http://wwlln.net/). An analysis of lightning discharges was carried out for a period from 1-10 days to the date of fire detection. The spatial comparison of the centers of lightning discharges and FF was carried out with a circle radius of 10 km having a center relative to the burning center. A comparison of the percentage of FF from thunderstorms according to the remote sensing method with the information provided by the Aviation Forest Protection the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is carried out.
