Hi Jake,
Sorry, the list software seems rather opaque. After my original email, I did a bit more
looking and found that I was years out of date 8^(
The latest sensors are called VIIRS, for Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite, which
is currently carried by two NASA/NOAA polar orbiting satellites, and provides 375m
resolution data for the entire planet each day. There is a web site for the Active Fire
products here:
https://viirsfire.geog.umd.edu/ <https://viirsfire.geog.umd.edu/>
It looks like archival data is available, so it should be possible to obtain imagery for
past wildfires, if you’re interested.
Best regards,
Marc

Thank you both for your replies to my original message:
Subject: [Mesh] forest fire early detection system
I didn't see your responses because I had the mesh list turned off, but now
that i've seen them i'm really grateful! I will look into the links you sent.
I want to mention that you both have "digest mode" enabled, so you're
getting a
single email per day of the mesh traffic. That works great for lists with more
than one message per day, but when you reply, you should edit the subject so
it's not something like:
Subject: [Mesh] mesh Digest, Vol 96, Issue 2
for those wondering what i'm talking about, search the archives for the above
subject here:
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/mesh/2021-February/date.html
the right way to manually reply to a subject is to put "Re: " before the
original subject, for example:
Re: [Mesh] forest fire early detection system
thanks again! I will look through what you both sent.
