Abstract:
Canada faces an unprecedented fire management challenge due to changing ecological and social conditions. The upcoming WildFireSat mission will provide innovative fire monitoring solutions to support operational wildfire management and response. As the world's first dedicated operational wildfire monitoring system, this mission will offer strategic fire intelligence through value-added products. In this paper, we preview the development of Tier 2 products for WildFireSat. Tier 2 will utilize data from other Earth observation satellites to create multi-source fire events and observed fire behaviour products. These products will support fire management needs and contribute to broader advancements in remote sensing, including multi-sensor fusion, fire event characterization, and satellite-informed fire behaviour.
