Abstract

Some results of experimental testing of fire risk by means of passive microwave and infrared remote sensing methods in the forests of the Moscow region are presented. The equipment used, measurement procedures and some results of data processing are described. The intercorrelation between natural fire risk and remotely obtained data is studied. It is shown, that passive microwave and infrared remote sensing methods can be used for the classification of forest state
