Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 23 September 2021, shows a wildfire ongoing near Morpara in Bahia, Brazil. Numerous uncontrolled fires are heavily affecting several Federal States of Brazil. According to data released by the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE - Brazil's Space Research Centre), fires in the Federal District, Minas Gerai, São Paulo, and Bahia exceeded the historical average for the month of September. The fires, clearly of human origin, are fuelled by the heavy drought and repeated heat waves that are affecting Brazil. With a revisit time of five days on average at the equator, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites deliver free and open data that can be used to monitor wildfires and their impact on land and vegetation.
