  The forest fires characteristics in Siberia detected by satellite data (MODIS
instruments on Aqua and Terra platforms) for the period 2000-2019 are analyzed.
Regional statistical data and distribution functions of wildfire
characteristics are presented. Differences in spatio-temporal changes of forest
fires of various intensity were revealed. An analysis of trends of the wildfire
characteristics over the past two decades indicates an increase in the
proportion of intense forest fires during the fire hazardous seasons, as well
as an increase in the intensity of average Siberian wildfire in summer.
