Some Limitations on Use <strong>of</strong> Remote Sens<strong>in</strong>g Data<br />

<strong>in</strong> Practice for <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Fire</strong>s Control<br />

• The MODIS data is not available at responsible <strong>in</strong>stitutions<br />

on forest fire management yet.<br />

• Lack <strong>of</strong> experts on application <strong>of</strong> RS data for forest fire<br />

detection, forecast and warn<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

• The number <strong>of</strong> hot spots detected by RS data is <strong>of</strong>ten over<br />

estimated. The test <strong>of</strong> hot spots at sites <strong>of</strong> forest fire is not<br />

convenience and expensive.<br />

• Mostly the forest fires <strong>in</strong> <strong>Vietnam</strong> are at small size while<br />

the space and frequency resolution <strong>of</strong> NOAA and MODIS<br />

data are not so high.<br />

• Hot spots detection by RS data is available at <strong>in</strong>ternational<br />

centers. However, mostly are only for the Southern<br />

<strong>Vietnam</strong>.<br />

• The comb<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> RS with climate and meteorological<br />

data is not good enough.
