NASA | New Model Predicts Fire Season Severity in the Amazon

The video discusses how sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific can predict fire activity in South America. Warmer sea temperatures correlate with increased fire activity and emissions, particularly in the Amazon. A predictive model has been developed to forecast fire activity 4-6 months in advance, aiding in resource management and mitigating climate change impacts.
