Title: Satellite-based fire alerts based on aerosol emissions

Description: This new data source, based on Copernicus Sentinel-5P, shows with much more precision the location of major fires across the Amazon. Although this image is from the same date as VIIRS (11 August 2020), it allows for more strategic use of resources.
