1999 PROGRAM RESULT

GENERAL MAP

A general map of hot spots detected from March 15 to July 18, 1999 is presented (see map in the Georreferenced Information, dynamic maps section). Some days were not included because no hot spots were detected or because the corresponding image was not available.

This map is an overlay of maps for each day with detected hot spots; thus, in one single map all hot spots for that period, along with the date on which each hot spot was detected, can be seen. For example, if field F0515 (May 15) presents value 1, it means a hot spot was detected on that date, and if the value is 0, it means it was not reported. Further, a total for each month and a total of days on which at least one polygon was reported as a hot spot during the period are presented.

Names of items (columns) with the corresponding sums (on map) are:

Month	Name on Table
March	mar_sum
April	apr_sum
May	may_sum
June	jun_sum
July	jul_sum
Sum total in analyzed period	a_suma
