Determination of Haze API From Forest Fire Emission During the 1997 Thick Haze Episode in Malaysia using NOAA AVHRR Data

The results of a study conducted at the UTM Centre for Remote Sensing is reported to quantify haze from forest fire emission using NOAA AVHRR data. In this study, NOAA AVHRR LAC data dated 22 September 1997, one of the worst thick haze episode in Malaysia were used. The relationship between measured...
