The Calf Canyon and Hermits Peak fires have already burned more than 200,000 acres.
Going into the observations, Maxar personnel wanted capture three types of images to view different aspects of the blaze: natural color, color infrared and shortwave infrared.Infrared imaging allows satellites to chart the heat signature of the blaze, which can assist investigators with making predictions about the wildfire's path. Shortwave infrared can"penetrate through the smoke and detect active fire lines and hot spots," Maxar officials wrote.
"With color infrared satellite imagery, healthy trees and vegetation appear in shades of red/pink while burned areas appear in shades of black/grey," Maxar said of the imagery. "With SWIR [shortwave infrared] satellite images, Maxar's imagery sensor can penetrate through the smoke and detect active fire lines and hot spots, which appear to glow in an orange/yellow color," personnel added."Burned vegetation appears in a rust/orange color in the SWIR imagery.
A shortwave infrared view shows the intense heat associated with New Mexico wildfires, in this satellite image obtained May 11, 2022. One of the tools by which we monitor these wildfires is by using Earth observation satellites, including both those operated by private companies and by governments. The goal is to ferry information as quickly as possible to decision-makers on the ground to guide response measures and assist affected populations.
