indication fires in Riau was confusing
pekanbaru, jia xiang - NOAA 18 satellite imaging results with aqua terra & in the last two days showed differences in the number of hot spots (hotspots) are very striking as an indication of land and forest fires in the province riau, thus making the policy makers got confused.
"Data from the satellite shows the number of hotspots is not there, but the smoke was still thick. We finally decided to make a comparison of the data in the report are usually only based on the NOAA 18, is now shown also from & aqua terra," said the head of the disaster management agency (BPBD) province of Riau in Pekanbaru, Tuesday (18/2).
He said that since last February 16, NOAA 18 satellite imagery showed a drastic downward trend in the number of hot spots in Riau after being continuously monitored tens to hundreds of hot spots.
between the launch, on that day, the report around 16:00 pm imaging shows hot staying 1 point. even a day later,he said in Riau is no indication at all fires because NOAA 18 satellite imagery shows 0 or no hot spots, and only one of hotspots in Sumatra.
whereas satellite imagery shows aqua terra & opposite numbers. on December 17, around 16:00 pm, there were 120 such satellites to monitor hot spots in Sumatra which 81 points are in Riau.number of hot spots in Riau reported only one point less than the previous day.
due to the significant difference plus conditions on the ground that there is a fire, then BPBDs riau decided to add data & aqua terra in their report to the national disaster management agency ( BNPB) since this February 18.
BNPB Data division chief, Agus Wibowo,when confirmed so far said it will not be affected to make a statement that fires in Riau have been able to overcome with only a trend based on a drastic reduction of the number of hotspots NOAA 18.
he explains, there is the possibility of field conditions that make less than optimal satellite NOAA 18 capture hotspots."Probably no fire just smoke alone so no satellites detected, so that little hotspot., Or small fire point and below ground," said Agus.
He explained the reason Indonesian government is only based on the NOAA 18 satellite imagery in their policy-related fires and smoke, because Asean member countries have agreed to use it since 1993. [w5]
