The Role of Himawari Rainfall Data for Indonesia Fire Danger Rating System (Ina-FDRS)

The 2015 fire period and 2018 non-fire period in South Sumatera, Indonesia, will be studied by using satellite rainfall data from HIMAWARI-8 AHI. The rainfall data from satellite remote sensing and surface meteorological data will be used as an input for Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System and compare during those two different seasons. In this study, the satellite rainfall data will be applied to the peat land area at South Sumatera Province. During 2015, rainfall conditions less than 3 mm/day and South Sumatera's condition very dry compare with the conditions on 2018.
