NASA | New Model Predicts Fire Season Severity in the Amazon

The video discusses how sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific can predict fire activity in South America. Warmer sea temperatures correlate with increased fire activity and emissions, particularly in the Amazon. A predictive model has been developed to forecast fire activity 4-6 months in advance, aiding in resource management and mitigating climate change impacts.

How do warmer sea surface temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic affect fire seasons?

What relationship was found between sea surface temperatures and fire activity in South America?

What years were identified as having anomalously warm sea surface temperatures and increased fire activity?

What is the significance of predicting fire activity four to six months in advance?

How do fires in South America contribute to climate change?
