热带泥炭沼泽森林储存了大量的碳，这些碳在火灾时以二氧化碳的形式释放到大气中。经常发生的泥炭沼泽森林火灾是当地的灾难性事件，可能对全球碳平衡产生严重影响。这方面的紧迫任务是提供关于火灾地点和碳排放量的信息。实验性双谱段红外探测卫星能够及早探测泥炭沼泽森林火灾并恢复其数量特征，如有效火灾温度、面积和辐射能量释放。地面实况测量和BIRD获得的数据相结合，可以提高对大气中碳排放量和相关痕量气体成分估计的准确性。
Tropical peat swamp forests store huge amounts of carbon, which is released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide during fires. Recurrent peat swamp forest fires are local catastrophic events that can have a serious impact on the global carbon balance. Urgent tasks in this regard are the provision of information on the fire locations and magnitude of the carbon emissions. The experimental Bi-spectral InfraRed Detection (BIRD) satellite enables early detection of peat swamp forest fires and retrieval of their quantitative characteristics, such as the effective fire temperature, area and radiative energy release. The combination of ground truth measurements and data obtained by BIRD can improve the accuracy of estimates of carbon emissions into the atmosphere and related trace gas composition.
