SSEC Distinguished Scientist Liam Gumley is leading the program at UW\u2013Madison. \u201cWe\u2019ve refined our ability to obtain data directly from the satellite and receive it on the ground, a process known as direct broadcast,\u201d says Gumley. \u201cNow, from Earth observation to wildfire detection is less than 60 seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satellite data for this project are received via a specialized satellite ground station on the UW\u2013Madison campus and at four other ground stations across the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n

These low-latency data from U.S. Earth observation satellites are a new addition to the NASA Fire Information for Resource Management System. FIRMS was developed by NASA for providing satellite-based detections of active fires in the U.S. and Canada. Once a fire is detected, NASA can coordinate with decision makers at other agencies to respond to, and continuously monitor, the fire and inform the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An expert in satellite data, including algorithm development and real-time data receiving and processing, Gumley has been on the leading edge of getting satellite-derived information to those who need it sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
