Peat fires differ from other wildfires in their duration, carbon losses, emissions of greenhouse gases and highly hazardous products of combustion, and other environmental impacts. Peatland fires can be identified by overlaying fire data obtained by Terra/Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) hotspots on existing maps of peatland distribution. However, not all wildfires that occur in peat bogs and drained peatlands become subterranean (peat) fires. The possibility of using fire parameters (Fire Radiation Power — FRP, temperature, duration, etc.) derived from MODIS data to detect peat fires and to separate them from surface fires was analysed using data from the large-scale fires of 2010 in the central European part of Russia. A special peat-fire-index based on the use of several parameters (maximum FRP and burning temperature values, burning duration and fire area) was proposed and tested, which showed up to 98 % accuracy for the detection of peat fires. The results require testing with other areas, but provide strong evidence that remote sensing data can be used to detect peat fires.
Keywords: remote sensing, thermal data, peatlands, hotspots, vegetation cover, Terra/Aqua MODIS, fire index
