Observed thermal detection

Thermal detection near Roccamena, Palermo

Measurable thermal activity. No satellite detection does not mean an area is safe. Cloud, sensor timing and heat below a sensor’s threshold can hide activity.

Nearest placesRoccamena 3 km · Camporeale 7 km · San Cipirello 11 km

The name above is derived here from the nearest populated places, not reported by the source data, which labels events by region at best. The distances shown are measured from the event to each of those places.

Where the measurements are

Drawn server-side from the public event read model. Every mark is a measurement: nothing here is interpolated, smoothed or inferred.

What each mark means

  • VIIRS (NASA)375 m

    Measured positions. Drawn at true footprint scale, brightest layer.

  • Meteosat (EUMETSAT)≈2 km

    Measures how much energy is radiated, which is what sizes the glow. Its individual pixel positions are not stored, so no Meteosat footprint is drawn — inferring one from the sharper layer would put a detection pixel on ground nobody measured.

  • True geographic scale, corrected for latitude. Frame is about 134 km across.
  • At this scale both sensor footprints are smaller than a pixel, so no true-scale square is drawn. Two squares clamped to the same legible minimum would show a 1:1 ratio for a 5:1 fact.
  • The glow means “an event, roughly here”. Its area follows the measured power and its radius is capped, because an uncapped one would assert a burnt extent nobody measured. The number carries the magnitude.
  • Grey marks detections shown as history, including those on quiet or archived events. It does not establish that a later satellite pass measured no activity.
  • Coastline, lakes and borders come from a generalised map with about 1,7 km between vertices, so treat every line as the shape of the geography and not as a surveyed boundary. It is drawn under the data and never over it.
  • Place names sit at their own coordinates from an offline index of populated places. They say what is near the measurements — not that any named place is burning, and not how far the heat reaches.
  • The dashed line is a modelled satellite ground track through the pass that produced the coloured detections — real published orbital parameters, measured pass time, modelled geometry. The swath is 3060 km wide, so where the satellite actually looked from inside it is unknown.

Verification ladder

  • ConfirmedObserved

    The anomaly carries measured energy or a 375 m position — the calibrated Meteosat fire product, or a VIIRS detection. Persistence alone never lights this step, because sunlit dry ground is persistent by nature.

  • QuantifiedObserved

    The heat here has a number on it — radiated power, in megawatts — and the number is what lets one reading be compared with another from the same time of day, day by day. Between measurements it says nothing. Measured by: Meteosat (EUMETSAT), VIIRS (NASA).

  • Linked to an official sourceNot yet observed

    An official update has been matched to this event. Official information outranks everything above it.

What each sensor measured

Meteosat looks every ten minutes; VIIRS passes a few times a day. The contrast is the point — between sharp passes there is no new sharp knowledge, only the ten-minute layer.
