NASA completely surprises with an incredible discovery with a huge impact on the future of humanity, the researchers of the American space agency managing for the first time to observe something that did not seem possible, and all directly from space. Analyzing the images of areas where huge vegetation fires broke out, those from NASA managed to find a possible correlation between the intensity of the fire and the level of humidity that the planets had before the fires broke out.
NASA says that based on the analyzes it did, in some of the areas where the planets were not dry, vegetation fires burned with a much higher intensity than in the areas where the plants were dry. Those from NASA say that everything could be based on the fact that the hydration level of the planets would determine to a certain extent the intensity of the vegetation fire in certain areas of the planet, something that can help the authorities to prevent fires on extremely large surfaces.
NASA Announces an INCREDIBLE Discovery with Impact for the Future of the Earth
NASA analyzed data recorded in certain parts of 2019, but also in the first part of 2020, and scientists came to the conclusion that the hydration level of plants can be an indicator of the intensity of wildfires. NASA researchers talk about the "transpiration" process of plants, or evotransporation, and depending on how this process takes place in various areas with intense vegetation, it can help predict the intensity of vegetation fires.
"We tried to understand what causes the differences in why some areas get severe burns and other areas don't. The results show how crucial water stress is to predicting which areas burn the most and why monitoring vegetation in these regions is important. As a result, they begin to heat up because they no longer have the benefit of "sweating". With ECOSTRESS, we can observe these very fine changes in temperature, which are used to understand changes in evapotranspiration and water use efficiency.”
When the temperatures are very high, the planets no longer eliminate "transpiration", and this generates their heating in an attempt to retain water, and this is where the problem of the intensity of vegetation fires comes from. NASA says that it can observe the differences in temperature at the level of the plants in these situations, and thus can determine if a vegetation fire of greater intensity could break out in a certain area, or not, and warn the authorities.
NASA has to Of course, to constantly monitor vast areas of vegetation to be able to determine how intense the vegetation fires will be, but systems of this kind can be very beneficial for humanity, in the end.
