Description:

Biomass burning has a signi ﬁcant and adverse impact on air quality, climate change, and various ecosystems. The Hazard Mapping System (HMS) detects ﬁres using data from multiple satellite sensors in order to maximize its ﬁre detection rate. However, to date, the detection rate of the HMS ﬁre product for small ﬁres has not been well studied, especially using ground-based ﬁre records. This paper utilizes the 2011 ﬁre information compiled from ground observations and burn authorizations in Georgia to assess the comprehensiveness of the HMS active ﬁre product. The results show that detection rates of the hybrid HMS increase substantially by integrating multiple satellite instruments. The detection rate increases dramaticallyfrom 3% to 80% with an increase in ﬁre size from less than 0.02 km
