As reported by Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE – Brazil’s Space Research Center) the number of fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest raised of 28 percent in July 2020 respect to July 2019. These data are in accordance with the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data that show a strong increasing of seasonal fires in Amazonas in the second half of July respect to the 2003-2019 average. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 on 31July 2020, shows two wildfires occurred 150 Northeaster of Apui’, Amazonas State (Brazil). The high revisit frequency of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites supports the attempts to mitigate the effects of wildfires by providing greater opportunities to acquire cloud-free optical data.
