Abstract
The Very High Resolution Radiometer of NOAA-2 and -3 can successfully locate and identify thunderstorms. Since lightning fires account for more than 90 percent of the acreage burned by forest fires in Alaska, this imagery promises to be a useful tool for forest fire control. Techniques used for the detection of thunderstorms from the imagery, and spatial distribution of thunderstorms are discussed.
