Following the previous chapters' exploration of spectral indices, this chapter aims to calculate burn areas for different forest fires in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in 2018 and 2019.
While there are Copernicus services that provide forest fire observation services, a lot of the fires during the active wild fire season in Germany are not covered by them.
While there are Copernicus services that provide forest fire observation services, a lot of the fires during the active wildfire season in Germany are not covered by them.
Nevertheless these fires have lasting impacts in their ecosystems and are a contributor to CO2 emissions, which serves as the motivation to see if additional information can be gained by looking closely at the Sentinel-2 data.
After an evaluation of the feasibility of a detailed look at the entire area of Brandenburg for an entire year this chapter defines three forest fires for which media coverage during the active fire and government reports at a later point provide sufficient information.
