Improving wildfire detection and monitoring capabilities through new satellite technology 

Get updates about new data available, satellite instrument development progress, and provide feedback on your changing needs and challenges.

Pre-registration is requested for virtual participation and required for in-person attendance

Hear about evolving NOAA satellite capabilities to detect fires and smoke and monitor weather and surface conditions in the fire environment.  New sensors have recently been launched while others are being built to serve users in the future. This event will focus on advancing engagement and readiness for the newest and next generation of these satellites. Attendees can anticipate:

• Receiving updates about innovative satellite systems and exciting new applications.
• Networking and engaging with critical stakeholders and getting feedback from them on their changing needs. 
• Offering/receiving feedback on the road to application-ready science for societal benefit and decision-making.  

Context

In 2020 thematic workshops were held to determine user needs and develop requirements for new instruments planned for deployment on the next generation of NOAA geostationary satellites, GeoXO. Since then, many new technologies, products, and services have become available. The technology and information landscape is expected to evolve rapidly, underscoring the importance of continued stakeholder engagement to ensure that current and future NOAA products and services are interoperable and impactful.

We look forward to your participation and feedback as we continue to guide the production of new data products and future instrument requirements.
