411 Hotspot Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, November 15, 2024)

Based on the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK)'s SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, 24-hour monitoring shows 411 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is a decrease of 242 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Friday (15/11/2024) at 11:23 WIB. Of the 411 hotspots detected, 15 are high confidence hotspots, 387 are medium confidence, and 9 are low confidence.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into three scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), and high (80-100). The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires in a particular area.

The highest number of detected hotspots is in East Nusa Tenggara with 95 hotspots. West Nusa Tenggara is second with 56 hotspots, followed by Central Sulawesi with 36 hotspots.

34 hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, followed by South Kalimantan with 34 hotspots, while East Java and North Maluku each have 24 and 23 detected hotspots respectively.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area with a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and not the number of forest and land fire incidents.

However, a large number of hotspots clustered in one area indicates forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellites remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
