A diez años de la formación de la Red Latinoamericana de Teledetección e Incendios Forestales (RedLatif) es necesario realizar un recuento de las actividades y logros alcanzados como red regional del proyecto Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics (GOFC-GOLD). A la fecha, RedLatif ha desarrollado dos proyectos principales con resultados publicados. Así mismo ha facilitado el intercambio de datos, información y conocimiento entre los países miembros, favoreciendo el conocimiento sobre incendios forestales con el uso de herramientas de Teledetección en América Latina.
This paper details the design, development, and initial testing of a prototype probabilistic wildfire warning system for Chile.
The 4th GWIS and GOFC-GOLD fire meeting promoted new knowledge and contacts between scientists and experts from the GOFC-GOLD Regional Networks, helping to improve relations at the international level. Discussions held between regional coordinators, members of the Fire IT team and other fire experts helped raise awareness about the problem of fires in the participating countries.
The 2018 redLatif workshop was held at the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediciton
(NCWCP) facility in College Park, MD on 9-11 October. The dates were selected strategically to
coincide with the ForestSat1 conference, hosted by the University of Maryland and NASA Goddard
Space Flight Center on 2-5 October 2018.
