BOULDER, Colo. — The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is turning to artificial intelligence in hopes of catching wildfires right as they start. The Next Generation Fire System uses AI to scan satellite imagery. The system can identify wildfires as small as one acre in size.NOAA is testing the system at its Fire Weather Testbed, an 'operations-to-research-to-operations' research area in Boulder.
It can also track the intensity of a wildfire over time.“That can help you prioritize which wildfires need the most attention at a certain time or how that fire is developing throughout the day to help keep firefighters safe on the ground, as well,” said Tolby.Working with fire responders and meteorologists at the NOAA Fire Weather Testbed is an important facet of Tolby’s job.
