DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2025.3639893
Abstract: Large wildfires and their induced thunderstorms, pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb), are getting increasing interest and attention. Most previous studies are based on broadband satellite data, and the use of hyperspectral infrared (IR) data for pyroCb detection has… read more here.
