Title: Copernicus Sentinel-2 captures wildfires in Gironde
Description: Using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, this animation shows fires and burn scars around the commune of Guillos, in the southern Gironde region in France. The animation comprises images acquired on 12 July, before the fires broke out and images acquired on 17 July, when the fires were active. The difference is clear to see. Copernicus Sentinel-2 carries an innovative wide swath high-resolution multispectral imager with 13 spectral bands for a new perspective of our land and vegetation. Its shortwave infrared channel was used to highlight heat from the wildfire.
