Before Suomi NPP and NOAA-20 spacecrafts launch in 2011 and 2017, the information from the MODIS device installed on Aqua and Terra satellites was primarily used in the information systems of satellite fire monitoring for operational quantitative characteristics of natural fires (including areas covered by fire). After launching the Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20 satellites with the VIIRS device on board, it became possible to use additional data for the wildfires characteristics estimation. This article is devoted to review the usage experience of combined MODIS and VIIRS data for estimating of the forest fires areas. The main results of the combined fires dataset usage are given and conclusions are formulated.
Keywords: VIIRS, MODIS, fires monitoring, satellite monitoring, remote sensing, NPP, NOAA-20
