The article describes method and results of forest fire model CFFBPS regional optimization for the territory of Russia. The optimization was performed on a representative samples of wildfires, which daily dynamic was obtained using MODIS satellite data. Еру model performance was tested for more than 40000 fires on territory of Russia for years 2007-2011, using special correspondence criteria between modeled and satellite data derived burned area. The optimised model parameters significantly improved model quality for wildfires in Russia. The optimized model was used as a basis for a fire dynamic forecasting subsystem of Informational System of Remote Monitoring of Forest Fires (ISDM-Rosleskhoz). The system's web-interface allows users to model wildfire dynamic and to adjust some of model input data and parameters.
Keywords: forest fires, dynamic modeling, optimisation, remote sensing
