Mediterranean forests are regularly subjected to a large number of fires. The importance of biophysical factors, especially the water status of forest trees, bushes, grasses and litter should also be considered to evaluate fire risk. In a first step, thermal infrared data from NOAA-AVHRR daily images covering an 18-month period were used to estimate temporal variations of forest evapotranspiration through an energy budget-based relationship. Results were related to statistics on fire starts in order to derive a fire risk index that can be used for a real-time regional alarm. / Les forêts méditerranéennes sont régulièrement victimes d'un très grand nombre d'incendies. Pour évaluer les risques d'incendie, on doit tenir compte de l'importance ...
