Fires In South California

Over the years, the amount of fires occuring in South California have been massive. In 2003, 376,237 acres in San Diego burned, killing 16 people. In these fires, San Diego County spent 43,230,826 replacing the 3241 structures that were destroyed. 4 fires in Southern California occured within Ausust 21st through August 25th in 2013. The amount of wildfires in South California has been increasing. These fires often go long enough without being noticed, and when they are noticed, they have most likely expanded into a larger problem. Fires have been killing off a good portion of the life in South California and something needs to change in order to keep the environment alive. It is much easier to stop a fire from becoming a big

IC Temperature Sensors agreed that there is a major diversity of how thermal sensors read the heat, for example, a thermometer measures temperature with mercury rising as heat increases, showing the temperature on the side. However, thermometers only measure the temperature when it is close up to the heat source. Thermographic sensors are long ranged temperature measuring devices which makes them more ideal for this experiment. Thermographic sensors read the temperature using thermograms. Thermograms show a variety of different shades of color depending the temperature. The temperature is based off a number of different variables such as thermal radiation (2007). Thermal sensors that use thermography have many uses that they were created for. Thermal sensors are used in the military to detect explosives frequently. The marines use thermography to spot enemies also. Thermography is not only used by the military, it is also used for medical reasons such as detection of breast cancer (Flir Threat Detection,

Thermography is used frequently with thermograms to study distributions of heat for predictive and preventive purposes (2013). Thermograms measure heat distributions with thermal radiation. The thermograms read temperatures and give a feed of either a black and white picture, or a multi colored picture that represents heat signatures. These signatures are mixtures of emitted energy, transmitted energy, and reflective energy that make a picture of incident energy which is the profile of the heat signatures being read by the thermograms (Signori Infosciences 2010). According to Western Area Power Administration, in thermography, the brighter colors will be spots that are warmer compared to the rest of the image, and the spots that are colder tend to show up in darker shades of blue. These thermograms are engendered by specific types of thermal sensors
