DOMINGUEZ-HURTADO, I. M.; MOYA-ALVAREZ, A. S.  and  ESTRADA-MORENO, A.. Surveillance of occurrence of forest fires from weather stations. Rev. Chapingo ser. cienc. for. ambient [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.2, pp.119-128. ISSN 2007-4018.

It is proposed a surveillance system to detect the risk of occurrence of forest fires on the basis of information from meteorological stations, due mainly to lack of operational daily departures to assess the conditions of risk of fires nationwide. Rates were used Nesterov amended and Monte Alegre, which were estimated from data from the 68 meteorological stations in Cuba. From that information is obtained mapificada daily output of each of them, using the technique of bicubic spline interpolation. We obtained an operating system for fully automated evaluation of the risk of occurrence of fires to Cuba, which has the potential to supplement and perfect the system for monitoring fires, based on reducing the time scale and the treatment of information.
