I continue to be interested in Himawari 8 out of the Meteorological Satellite Center of the Japan Meteorological Agency which I first wrote about on March 13th. I am in the process of doing some doing some reading about Himawari 8 on the internet. I hope, but am not certain that at some point in the future I will be able to write a little more about Himawari on this blog. I understand that yes, Himawari imagery can show good imagery of wildfires (or bush fires). Here is a 4 second clip of Himawari 8 imagery of a November 2018 bush fire in Queensland Australia.

While I am continuing to try to learn more about Himawari 8, I thought I'd share some imagery from Himawari 8 of Super Typhoon Mangkhut that devastated the Philippines in September 2018. Here is an article from the BBC and a write up on Mangkhut on Wikipedia

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
