The results of the AHI data monitoring are evaluated by the fire point product data, the wind field data, and the environmental information data of the area in which the fire took place. The monitoring result shows that, the grassland fire burned for two days and eight hours with a total burned area of about 2708.29 km2. It mainly spread from the northwest to the southeast, with a maximum burning speed of 20.9 m\/s, a minimum speed of 2.52 m\/s, and an average speed of about 12.07 m\/s. Thus, using AHI data can not only quickly and accurately track the dynamic development of a grassland fire, but also estimate the spread speed and direction. The evaluation of fire monitoring results reveals that AHI data with high precision and timeliness can be highly consistent with the actual situation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18010276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,18]],"date-time":"2018-01-18T12:19:48Z","timestamp":1516277988000},"page":"276","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Himawari-8 Satellite Based Dynamic Monitoring of Grassland Fire in China-Mongolia Border Regions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Li","family":"Na","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130024, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Vegetation Ecology, Ministry of Education, Changchun 130024, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6077-8429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiquan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130024, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Vegetation Ecology, Ministry of Education, Changchun 130024, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yulong","family":"Bao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collage of Geography, Inner Mongolia Normal University, Hohhot 010022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongbin","family":"Bao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130024, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Risu","family":"Na","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geographical Sciences, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130024, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siqin","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130024, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Vegetation Ecology, Ministry of Education, Changchun 130024, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alu","family":"Si","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130024, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Robert, S.A., Joshua, M.J., Gregory, C., and Sion, J.
