Nighttime temperature recording of a low-intensity understorey fire

by Kunal Mallick, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Geography, Presidency University, Kolkata, India

This photograph captures the precise recording of a low-intensity understorey fire’s temperature in a dry deciduous forest at night. The flickering flames illuminate the darkness, highlighting the fire’s slow-moving and controlled nature. Such measurements are essential for understanding fire behaviour and its ecological impact.
