Eaton and Palisades Fires (2025) Fire Radiative Power
biosphere NASA VEDA COG
In plain English

What it measures. Shows how much heat the Eaton and Palisades Fires in Southern California released during the week they burned most fiercely (2025).

How it's made. Calculated from satellite measurements of fire heat output, known as Fire Radiative Power.

How & where you'd use it. Helps responders see where a wildfire is burning hottest so they can focus firefighting efforts.
