Analysis of Fire Spread in Mountainous Limassol Using Satellite Data
August 6, 2025
The fire that broke out in the Malaya area of mountainous Limassol spread quickly due to wind. The Cyprus Institute used satellite images to analyze the fire's spread. Their new algorithm detects temperature and smoke anomalies in a short period. The analysis indicated that the fire may have originated from one area and rapidly spread to another. This research contributes to fire monitoring and detection in Cyprus.
