Burnt Area, Norway

ESA · Download full size image

This Envisat image combines two Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) acquisitions – one from 15 May and one from 19 June 2008 (before and after the fire) – in order to detect the extent of damages that occurred in Norway’s largest forest fire. The burnt area is visible as a red cluster in the image centre (top). Other reddish-coloured areas do not represent fire damage but rather changes that occurred between acquisitions.

Technical Information:

  • Satellite: Envisat
  • Instrument: ASAR
  • Acquistion: 19-Jun-2008
  • Centre coordinates: lat. 58.36, lon. 8.35
