For the purposes of population impact assessment we suggest a relevant index. In our model the air patrolling schedule is determined by the Nesterov index, which is calculated from observed weather data sets at different spatial resolutions. The reduction of fire impact on population, associated with utilization of finer grid, indicates the benefits of more precise weather observations. We also explore the sensitivity of the forest fires model with respect to the quality of input data while taking into account the multitude of sources providing weather observations. Our model shows that approximately 90% of the feasible reduction of fire impact on population can be achieved by refining weather observations in 30% of the area of interest. 2009 published XP-09-002 In:; Proceedings from the 33rd International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment (ISRSE-33) "Sustaining the Millennium Development Goals"; 4-8 May 2009, Stresa, Italy [ISBN 978-0-932913-13-5] 151 1460 219 public Proceedings from the 33rd International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment (ISRSE-33) "Sustaining the Millennium Development Goals" 4-8 May 2009 other TRUE 978-0-932913-13-5 FALSE info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject
