162 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, February 11, 2024)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, 24-hour monitoring shows 162 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is a decrease of 22 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is from satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Sunday (11/2/2024) at 08.52 WIB. Of the 162 hotspots detected, 149 are medium-scale and 13 are low-scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 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 hotspots were detected in Aceh (41). North Maluku is second with 29 hotspots, followed by North Sumatra with 22.

Jambi has 16 detected hotspots, followed by East Nusa Tenggara with 11, and Central Java and West Kalimantan with 8 and 5 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 clustered hotspots in an area indicates forest and land fires. This means that satellite remote sensing hotspot data remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
