Fire forecasting for South East National Forest in Australia

Basically we are going to forecast the active fire by 8-Day, using two fire products, precipitation and air temperature data.

Datasets:

• Temperature data from reanalysis product (at daily scale resolution)

• Precipitation data from reanalysis product (at daily resolution)

• MODIS EVI product (at 16-Day resolution)

• MODIS/Terra Thermal Anomalies & Fire data product (at 8-Day resolution)

• VIIRS I Band 750 m Active Fire Product NRT (at 8-Day resolution)

Workflow:

1. Run 01.x codes in sequence, get target data downloaded to the group's GEO shared directory.

• the starting date is Feb 2nd, 2019
• the study area is H29 V12 in MODIS tile
• data visualization for GEFs data will be done in R; for VIIRS and MODIS data will be done with qgis or bash
