Five Years of Half-Hourly GOES WF_ABBA Fire Products for the Western Hemisphere
The half-hourly GOES WF_ABBA fire data base for the Western Hemisphere extends over nearly 7 years providing a unique look at patterns in burning in North, Central, and South America.
Although the general distribution of fires is similar from year to year, there is considerable variability associated with climatic and anthropogenic forcing.

The difference plots show fire pixels unique to each year and can show regions of expansion of fire activity in the tri-frontier. At location A (along a new road in Acre, Brazil) there does not seem to be significant expansion of fire into new areas during the time period from 2000 to 2004, while at location B there appears to be more fire activity in new areas.

WF_ABBA fire products are provided in near real time to Robert Rabin for application in fire weather forecasting at the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, Oklahoma. The SPC Fire Weather Analysis Page integrates the GOES WF_ABBA fire product with other meteorological data and fire weather and danger indices (Haines, SPC LASI, Fosberg Index, etc) to provide an overview of existing fires and fire danger in the continental U.S.

Comparison of GOES and MODISFire Products with a ground based fire
data set from Oregon in July 2002(Soja, et al., 2006)
Goal: Assess ability of satellite fire products to identify fire events and quantify area burned for emissions
Results:
- GOES WF_ABBA detected 31% of the fires- GOES detected 5 fires not detected by MODIS
- MODIS detected 33% of the fires- MODIS detected 7 fires not detected by GOES
- A combination of GOES/MODIS detects accounts for 90% of the total burned area
-Burned area derived from the GOES (r2 = .85) and MODIS (r2 = .78) fire products compare well with ground truth.

Plans for Global WF_ABBA Fire System
In the process of adapting the GOES WF_ABBA to Met-8/-9 and MTSAT-1R with transfer to NOAA/NESDIS HMS in the 2nd quarter of 2007. Will also adapt to FY-2C and INSAT-2D with follow-on funding.
Met-8 SEVIRI- The cubic convolution resampling does offer some challenges, especially in sub-pixel
characterization of fires.- Single pixel “hot” spikes are currently treated as noise in the GOES WF_ABBA, but there
are cases where this occurs with SEVIRI and the algorithm is being adjusted to better address this issue.
MTSAT-1R- The GOES WF_ABBA was adapted for GOES-9 and is now being adapted to MTSAT-1R
based on this effort.- The low saturation temperature on MTSAT-1R JAMI (~321K) leads to many block-out
zones during the day.- Initial comparisons with GOES-9 in the region showed similar fire features.- Investigating the implications of reduction from JAMI 2 km to 4km data.
FY-2C- Initial comparisons with MTSAT-1R and GOES-9 show significant differences.

NOTE: At this time there are no requirements for sub-pixel fire characterization: instantaneous fire size, temperature and fire radiative power (FRP). These must still be decided.
Issues for Fire Monitoring
MRD documents indicates that NEdT is less than 0.5 K for temperatures greater than 330K, but there is no linearity required beyond 375 K.
ABI sampling and re-gridding techniques and protocol for flagging saturated detectors are not entirely known and may impact fire detection and characterization, especially if there is no access to pre-gridded and/or level 1B flagged data in real time
