Abstract:
An introduction is made to the principles, functions and dataprocessing procedures of the newly developed polarorbiting meteorological satellite realtime monitoring system of forest fires. This system can process the data of forest fires while a satellite is passing by. It has solved the problem of realtime monitoring that many other meteorological satellitemonitoring systems cannot handle. The realtime monitoring system is a parallel processing system composed of three computers. It divides the time sequence of recognizing a fire site from obscurity to confirmation into three steps, and the time sequences of datareceiving, firesite judging, firesite targeting, and displaying are distributed in three computers, which operate synchronously. This system has been put to operational use in the Guangzhou Meteorological Satellite Ground Station since 2005. Compared with the former satellite remote sensing monitoring system, it can monitor and report forest fires 30 minutes earlier.
