Latest Update on the Fire Situation by José Ramón Martínez Batlle, Dominican Republic and the total area burned (First publication: 27 March 2005):

diapo31_31-marzo-aqua-pan
This image has been provided by Mr. José Ramón Martínez Batlle, Dominican Republic (full address below). This scene and other materials can be accessed on his website:
http://www.angelfire.com/un/josemartinez/incendio_cc/images/pages/diapo31_31-marzo-aqua-pan.htm

For more detailed scenes covering the fires since 7 March 2005 see:
http://www.angelfire.com/un/josemartinez/incendio_cc/images/index.htm

NOTA SOBRE LA NO-DETECCIÓN DE FOCOS ACTIVOS EN CABRAL-BARAHONA: en fecha 29 de marzo, no se detectaron focos activos en el sensor MODIS para dicha zona, aun cuando existen reportes de testigos oculares que certifican la ocurrencia de un incendio activo de varias decenas de hectáreas. La no detección en MODIS puede deberse a múltiples factores: oblicuidad de la toma del satélite, naturaleza del material quemado, baja temperatura del incendio, nubosidad, entre otras. Por lo tanto, la no detección en MODIS no implica la inexistencia de tales focos.

NOTA SOBRE LA FECHA DE INICIO DE LOS PRIMEROS FOCOS DEL CONJUNTO DE INCENDIOS: se ha hecho un seguimiento de los primeros focos mediante el sensor MODIS. Los resultados obtenidos son preliminares y ameritan comprobación de campo, dado que el error de las coordenadas aportadas podría ser de 1 km. Los resultados son:

s         El día 1 marzo por la mañana aparecen 2 focos en las coordenadas aproximadas (18º51’55’’N,71º1’33’’W) y (18º56’40’’N,70º58’7’’W). En las imágenes de días posteriores ambos desaparecen

s         El día 7 de marzo, aparece en las coordenadas aproximadas 18º57’19’’N,71º3’36’’W, un foco de importancia claramente visible por el sensor. La progresión de este foco hacia el Norte, Noreste y Noroeste es visible en las imágenes de los días posteriores y se mantiene hasta la fecha actual. A partir de entonces, alrededor de este primer foco, aparecen otros que igualmente se expanden hacia el Norte, Noreste y Noroeste.

s         A la luz de estos resultados, la fecha más temprana del foco activo más persistente que ha penetrado a los Parques Nacionales, es el 7 de marzo.

Análisis Preliminar de la Superficie Total Quemada por los Incendios Forestales de la Cordillera Central en Marzo de 2005
En una primera aproximación hecha a partir de un “quicklook” de la imagen Landsat del 21 de marzo pasado, la superficie de bosque (pinar y otros) quemada por este conjunto de incendios forestales varía entre un mínimo de 110 km2 y un máximo de 170 km2. VEA EL ANÁLISIS PORMENORIZADO Y LAS BASES QUE SE HAN UTILIZADO PARA REALIZAR ESTA APROXIMACIÓN PRELIMINAR. Mientras los medios de información manejaban una cifra de 62.50 km2 (100,000 tareas) por este medio ya se había informado, desde el 27 de marzo pasado, que la superficie afectada era mayor. A partir del 31 de marzo, la cifra que está publicándose en los medios es de 150 km2 (15,000 hectáreas) o más.

Interpretación de los focos activos, delimitando bajo el criterio de superficie máxima. Esta aproximación “al alza” extiende ligeramente hacia fuera el perímetro visiblemente quemado debajo de la pluma humo, asumiendo que aquella cubre un área supuestamente incendiado. Se observan 3 focos que han avanzado desde el PN José del Carmen Ramírez y han atravesado hacia el PN Armando Bermúdez. Los dos de los extremos oriental y occidental, de 85 y 66 km2 están activos, mientras que el central, de 19 km2, ya estaba apagado, para una superficie total quemada de 17,000 hectáreas.


Interpretación de los focos activos, delimitando bajo el criterio de superficie mínima. Esta aproximación “a la baja” delimita únicamente el perímetro visiblemente quemado, asumiendo que esta es la única porción que ha sufrido daños. Se ha eliminado además el foco central y sólo se ha considerado la superficie de los dos focos más grandes 39 y 71 km2 aproximadamente. Según esta aproximación muy conservadora la superficie total quemada es de 11,000 hectáreas

Nota: estos datos pueden diferir mucho de los resultados finales por las siguientes razones:

s         La pluma de humo oculta parte de la superficie quemada

s         La fecha de esta escena no coincide con el final del incendio

s         La resolución de este quicklook es muy baja

s         Hay error inducido por el SLC-off

s         Algunas áreas quemadas podrían no corresponder con el conjunto de incendios de marzo, como el foco central apagado

s         Se requiere un trabajo de campo exhaustivo para corroborar los datos captados por sensores remotos

Ginnies Headlines for March 30

Diario Libre Says the Fires are Causing Severe Environmental Damage

DR has not received US help in relation to Cordillera Central forest fires. The US, in order to make help available, would require the DR to declare the country in a state of emergency. However, the DR is reluctant to do so because of ramifications for the tourism industry. For this reason the DR asked for help from France, Canada, Cuba, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela. Venezuela responded immediately with 2 helicopters and a team of experts and has offered more aircraft, free of charge, should these be necessary. According to Hoy, Canada wanted 100,000 dollars daily and after this was accepted the price went up to 500,000 dollars – not really feasible in light of the economic circumstances of the DR.

Los incendios causan estragos en el Cibao

SANTIAGO. Los incendios que desde hace más de 20 días se registran en una parte de la Cordillera Central han comenzado a causar estragos en la región Norte del país, con la muerte de gran cantidad de animales salvajes,  la degradación de los suelos y otros daños al medio ambiente y los recursos naturales de la zona.
El fuego ha provocado, además, que los principales tours operadores del Cibao hayan suspendido las excursiones programadas para esta época del año en la zona afectada.
Según el ambientalista Domingo Rodríguez, los incendios están  arrastrando una gran cantidad de recursos forestales, y diezmando los bosques que retienen el dióxido y monóxido de carbono.
“Los suelos de esa zona se están quedando sin protección y  cuando se produzcan lluvias habrá grandes procesos de arrastre, erosión e inundaciones”, precisó.
Igualmente señala que en el parque J. Armando Bermúdez están muriendo muchos animales salvajes, como cerdos, conejos y  aves endémicas y nativas.
Los incendios también están devastando gran cantidad de pinus occidentales y otras especies que son endémicas del país, así como las plantas del sotobos, que que crecen debajo de los grandes árboles.
De su lado, el vicepresidente de la Sociedad Ecológica del Cibao (SOECI), Nelson Bautista, advirtió que los fuegos afectarán el desarrollo sostenible de la región, porque se han originado en la cuenca “crítica” del nacimiento de importantes ríos en República Dominicana.
Bautista advirtió que además afectará el caudal de los ríos, a causa de los efectos de la erosión, y agregó que  más de 50 mil hectáreas han sido afectadas.
Entre las zonas afectadas se encuentran El Valle de Lilis y Valle del Tetero, El Pico Duarte, Manabao, y los parques José del Carmen Ramírez y J Armando  Bermúdez,
Ente los ríos que serán afectados citaron el Yaque del Norte, Yaque del Sur, Bao y Los Limones, según Bautista.

Latest Update on the Fire Situation by José Ramón Martínez Batlle, Dominican Republic and the total area burned (First publication: 27 March 2005):

diapo31_31-marzo-aqua-pan
This image has been provided by Mr. José Ramón Martínez Batlle, Dominican Republic (full address below). This scene and other materials can be accessed on his website:
http://www.angelfire.com/un/josemartinez/incendio_cc/images/pages/diapo31_31-marzo-aqua-pan.htm

For more detailed scenes covering the fires since 7 March 2005 see:
http://www.angelfire.com/un/josemartinez/incendio_cc/images/index.htm

NOTA SOBRE LA NO-DETECCIÓN DE FOCOS ACTIVOS EN CABRAL-BARAHONA: en fecha 29 de marzo, no se detectaron focos activos en el sensor MODIS para dicha zona, aun cuando existen reportes de testigos oculares que certifican la ocurrencia de un incendio activo de varias decenas de hectáreas. La no detección en MODIS puede deberse a múltiples factores: oblicuidad de la toma del satélite, naturaleza del material quemado, baja temperatura del incendio, nubosidad, entre otras. Por lo tanto, la no detección en MODIS no implica la inexistencia de tales focos.

NOTA SOBRE LA FECHA DE INICIO DE LOS PRIMEROS FOCOS DEL CONJUNTO DE INCENDIOS: se ha hecho un seguimiento de los primeros focos mediante el sensor MODIS. Los resultados obtenidos son preliminares y ameritan comprobación de campo, dado que el error de las coordenadas aportadas podría ser de 1 km. Los resultados son:

s         El día 1 marzo por la mañana aparecen 2 focos en las coordenadas aproximadas (18º51’55’’N,71º1’33’’W) y (18º56’40’’N,70º58’7’’W). En las imágenes de días posteriores ambos desaparecen

s         El día 7 de marzo, aparece en las coordenadas aproximadas 18º57’19’’N,71º3’36’’W, un foco de importancia claramente visible por el sensor. La progresión de este foco hacia el Norte, Noreste y Noroeste es visible en las imágenes de los días posteriores y se mantiene hasta la fecha actual. A partir de entonces, alrededor de este primer foco, aparecen otros que igualmente se expanden hacia el Norte, Noreste y Noroeste.

s         A la luz de estos resultados, la fecha más temprana del foco activo más persistente que ha penetrado a los Parques Nacionales, es el 7 de marzo.

Análisis Preliminar de la Superficie Total Quemada por los Incendios Forestales de la Cordillera Central en Marzo de 2005
En una primera aproximación hecha a partir de un “quicklook” de la imagen Landsat del 21 de marzo pasado, la superficie de bosque (pinar y otros) quemada por este conjunto de incendios forestales varía entre un mínimo de 110 km2 y un máximo de 170 km2. VEA EL ANÁLISIS PORMENORIZADO Y LAS BASES QUE SE HAN UTILIZADO PARA REALIZAR ESTA APROXIMACIÓN PRELIMINAR. Mientras los medios de información manejaban una cifra de 62.50 km2 (100,000 tareas) por este medio ya se había informado, desde el 27 de marzo pasado, que la superficie afectada era mayor. A partir del 31 de marzo, la cifra que está publicándose en los medios es de 150 km2 (15,000 hectáreas) o más.

Interpretación de los focos activos, delimitando bajo el criterio de superficie máxima. Esta aproximación “al alza” extiende ligeramente hacia fuera el perímetro visiblemente quemado debajo de la pluma humo, asumiendo que aquella cubre un área supuestamente incendiado. Se observan 3 focos que han avanzado desde el PN José del Carmen Ramírez y han atravesado hacia el PN Armando Bermúdez. Los dos de los extremos oriental y occidental, de 85 y 66 km2 están activos, mientras que el central, de 19 km2, ya estaba apagado, para una superficie total quemada de 17,000 hectáreas.


Interpretación de los focos activos, delimitando bajo el criterio de superficie mínima. Esta aproximación “a la baja” delimita únicamente el perímetro visiblemente quemado, asumiendo que esta es la única porción que ha sufrido daños. Se ha eliminado además el foco central y sólo se ha considerado la superficie de los dos focos más grandes 39 y 71 km2 aproximadamente. Según esta aproximación muy conservadora la superficie total quemada es de 11,000 hectáreas

Nota: estos datos pueden diferir mucho de los resultados finales por las siguientes razones:

s         La pluma de humo oculta parte de la superficie quemada

s         La fecha de esta escena no coincide con el final del incendio

s         La resolución de este quicklook es muy baja

s         Hay error inducido por el SLC-off

s         Algunas áreas quemadas podrían no corresponder con el conjunto de incendios de marzo, como el foco central apagado

s         Se requiere un trabajo de campo exhaustivo para corroborar los datos captados por sensores remotos

Ginnies Headlines for March 30

Diario Libre Says the Fires are Causing Severe Environmental Damage

DR has not received US help in relation to Cordillera Central forest fires. The US, in order to make help available, would require the DR to declare the country in a state of emergency. However, the DR is reluctant to do so because of ramifications for the tourism industry. For this reason the DR asked for help from France, Canada, Cuba, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela. Venezuela responded immediately with 2 helicopters and a team of experts and has offered more aircraft, free of charge, should these be necessary. According to Hoy, Canada wanted 100,000 dollars daily and after this was accepted the price went up to 500,000 dollars – not really feasible in light of the economic circumstances of the DR.

Los incendios causan estragos en el Cibao

SANTIAGO. Los incendios que desde hace más de 20 días se registran en una parte de la Cordillera Central han comenzado a causar estragos en la región Norte del país, con la muerte de gran cantidad de animales salvajes,  la degradación de los suelos y otros daños al medio ambiente y los recursos naturales de la zona.
El fuego ha provocado, además, que los principales tours operadores del Cibao hayan suspendido las excursiones programadas para esta época del año en la zona afectada.
Según el ambientalista Domingo Rodríguez, los incendios están  arrastrando una gran cantidad de recursos forestales, y diezmando los bosques que retienen el dióxido y monóxido de carbono.
“Los suelos de esa zona se están quedando sin protección y  cuando se produzcan lluvias habrá grandes procesos de arrastre, erosión e inundaciones”, precisó.
Igualmente señala que en el parque J. Armando Bermúdez están muriendo muchos animales salvajes, como cerdos, conejos y  aves endémicas y nativas.
Los incendios también están devastando gran cantidad de pinus occidentales y otras especies que son endémicas del país, así como las plantas del sotobos, que que crecen debajo de los grandes árboles.
De su lado, el vicepresidente de la Sociedad Ecológica del Cibao (SOECI), Nelson Bautista, advirtió que los fuegos afectarán el desarrollo sostenible de la región, porque se han originado en la cuenca “crítica” del nacimiento de importantes ríos en República Dominicana.
Bautista advirtió que además afectará el caudal de los ríos, a causa de los efectos de la erosión, y agregó que  más de 50 mil hectáreas han sido afectadas.
Entre las zonas afectadas se encuentran El Valle de Lilis y Valle del Tetero, El Pico Duarte, Manabao, y los parques José del Carmen Ramírez y J Armando  Bermúdez,
Ente los ríos que serán afectados citaron el Yaque del Norte, Yaque del Sur, Bao y Los Limones, según Bautista.

Latest example of a SEA FDRS product:
The Fire Weather Index (FWI) values shown on the map are numerical ratings offire intensity.
Information from the Initial Spread Index (ISI) and Build Up Index (BUI) iscombined to provide a numerical rating of fire intensity.
This index is used to indicate the difficulty of fire control based on the headfire intensity and fire fighting capability.

Information on the Indonesian Fire Danger Rating System (Indonesian FDRS) is provided by the Indonesian Bureau of Meteorology and Geophysics (BMG) in Jakarta. The site provides information for fire managers working to prevent and control vegetation fires and smoke in Indonesia.
