| Abstract: | The areas of the active zone of five large forest fires among those occurring in Irkutsk Oblast in 1996 and 1997 and the burned-over areas formed by them were determined using an Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) carried aboard satellites of the American NOAA series. Comparative estimates of the burned-over areas, determined using AVHRR (NOAA satellite) and MSU-SK (medium-resolution scanner) (Russian Federation Resurs satellite) imagery, were obtained. |
