University of Utah scientists found that the TROPOMI satellite instrument, designed for air pollution tracking, can detect fading solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence in Western US conifer forests roughly two years before bark-beetle mortality appears in aerial surveys. The study, published in Remote Sensing of Environment, shows this physiological signal responds earlier and more sensitively than conventional greenness indices like NDVI.

The system displays near real-time data, though some portals submit at longer intervals, causing temporary blank areas.
