Forest fires in the Gironde region in France
We used #Sentinel-1 #SAR data and here our vegetation index #ESVI to demonstrate that the detected footprint compares very well with optical infrared data from #FIRMS. Occasionally it may happen, that optical data is disturbed by dense smoke. Despite to that SAR can penetrate aerosols and clearly indicate the destroyed area.

New SAR Water Index (SWI)
A new SAR Water Index derived from Sentinel-1 shows nice correlations with optical NDWI from Sentinel-2.
The SWI is useful for drought monitoring of cropland.
