Meteorological and environmental parameters were also analysed. The study found various patterns in the spatial distribution of fires, FRP and BA at the three sites, associated with various vegetation compositions, prevailing meteorological and environmental conditions and anthropogenic activities. We found significant fire clusters along the western and eastern coasts of the USA and Australia, respectively, while vastly distributed clusters were found in Brazil. Across all sites, significant fire intensity was recorded over forest cover (FC) and shrublands (SL), attributed to highly combustible tree crown fuel load characterised by leafy canopies and thin branches. In agreement, BA over FC was the highest in the USA and Australia, while Brazil was dominated by the burning of SL, characteristic of fire-tolerant Cerrado. The relatively lower BA over FC in Brazil can be attributed to fuel availability and proximity to highly flammable cover types such as cropland, SL and grasslands rather than fuel flammability. Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of wildfires in various regions and the underlying environmental and meteorological causal factors, towards better wildfire disaster management strategies and habitat-specific firefighting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12111803","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,4]],"date-time":"2020-06-04T04:36:09Z","timestamp":1591245369000},"page":"1803","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Assessment of the Characteristics of Recent Major Wildfires in the USA, Australia and Brazil in 2018\u20132019 Using Multi-Source Satellite Products"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9553-0378","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahlatse","family":"Kganyago","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation, South African National Space Agency, The Enterprise Building, Mark Shuttleworth Street, Pretoria 0001, South Africa"},{"name":"School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 2050, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4241-2970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lerato","family":"Shikwambana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Space Science Directorate, South African National Space Agency, Hermanus 7200, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.2989\/10220119.2011.609266","article-title":"Short-term response of the encroacher shrub Seriphium plumosum to fire","volume":"28","author":"Snyman","year":"2011","journal-title":"Afr.
