Abstract
The Earth Observation Group (EOG) at the Payne Institute for Public Policy, Colorado School of Mines, has calculated the temperatures and spatial extent of active burning in the Texas Panhandle with their Nightfire algorithm applied to data collected by NOAA's Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer Suite (VIIRS).  The VIIRS data reveal the locations of both flaming and non-flaming combustion, a capability unique to the nightfire data product.
