<td colspan="10">A near real-time global geostationary fire monitoring

locations and sub-pixel fire characteristics (instantaneous estimates of
sub-pixel fire size/temperature and possibly fire radiative
energy).</td>

used to augment current MODIS fire detects (future NPOESS) to determine
global biomass burning emissions. They will be assimilated into the Navy
Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS) to diagnose and predict
aerosol loading and transport around the globe in near real time.</td>

<td colspan="10">In the Western Hemisphere the NAAPS assimilates diurnal
WF_ABBA fire products provided by UW-Madison CIMSS along with MODIS fire
products. Throughout the rest of the world, only lower temporal
resolution polar orbiting (MODIS) data are available. The diurnal
signature provided by geostationary satellites is critical for accurate
aerosol transport modeling.</td>

(Optional):</strong></td>

capability to create nearly global geostationary fire products. In order
to have a consistent operational global fire product, the data from MSG
and MTSAT should be processed by NOAA/NESDIS with an algorithm similar
to the WF_ABBA in near real-time.</td>
