"An innovative new app for Real-time Amazon Fire Monitoring (see MAAP #118 for details). In a novel approach, the app combines data from the atmosphere (aerosol emissions in smoke) and the ground (heat anomaly alerts) to effectively detect and visualize major Amazon fires. The app specializes in filtering out thousands of the heat-based fire alerts to prioritize only those burning large amounts of biomass and thus emitting elevated levels of aerosol (defined here as a major fire)." https://maaproject.org/2020/fire-july-update/ Mapper: Paulina Jiménez
