During the first two weeks of November 2018, significant forest fires occurred in the Apuseni region of Romania and in California, USA. The data stream from the Sentinel 2 and 3 satellites of the European Copernicus programme allowed the monitoring of the fire dynamics due to their superior temporal resolution. These images were processed by Terrasigna, a Romanian company with strong background in Earth Observation data processing.
