Fire Weather Index Forecast for Today (EFFIS:FWI0)
The fire danger forecasts of EFFIS generates daily maps of 1 to 6 days projected fire danger level in EU using weather forecast data. Fire danger is mapped in 5 classes (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) with a spatial resolution of about 36 km (DWD data).
Fire Weather Index Forecast for Tomorrow (EFFIS:FWI1)
The fire danger forecasts of EFFIS generates daily maps of 1 to 6 days projected fire danger level in EU using weather forecast data. Fire danger is mapped in 5 classes (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) with a spatial resolution of about 36 km (DWD data).
Fire Weather Index Forecast in 2 Days (EFFIS:FWI2)
The fire danger forecasts of EFFIS generates daily maps of 1 to 6 days projected fire danger level in EU using weather forecast data. Fire danger is mapped in 5 classes (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) with a spatial resolution of about 36 km (DWD data).
Fire Weather Index Forecast in 3 Days (EFFIS:FWI3)
The fire danger forecasts of EFFIS generates daily maps of 1 to 6 days projected fire danger level in EU using weather forecast data. Fire danger is mapped in 5 classes (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) with a spatial resolution of about 36 km (DWD data).
Fire Weather Index Forecast in 4 Days (EFFIS:FWI4)
The fire danger forecasts of EFFIS generates daily maps of 1 to 6 days projected fire danger level in EU using weather forecast data. Fire danger is mapped in 5 classes (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) with a spatial resolution of about 36 km (DWD data).
Fire Weather Index Forecast in 5 Days (EFFIS:FWI5)
The fire danger forecasts of EFFIS generates daily maps of 1 to 6 days projected fire danger level in EU using weather forecast data. Fire danger is mapped in 5 classes (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) with a spatial resolution of about 36 km (DWD data).
Fire Weather Index Forecast in 6 Days (EFFIS:FWI6)
The fire danger forecasts of EFFIS generates daily maps of 1 to 6 days projected fire danger level in EU using weather forecast data. Fire danger is mapped in 5 classes (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) with a spatial resolution of about 36 km (DWD data).
Fire News (EFFIS:FireNews)
News collected and filtered by the EFFIS team, update daily.
Fires in the last 30 days (EFFIS:Fires30Days)
Fires in the last 7 days (EFFIS:Fires7Days)
Fires since 2010-01-01 (EFFIS:FiresAll)
MODIS Hotspots in the last 24h (EFFIS:Hotspots1Day)
MODIS Hotspots in the last 7 Days (EFFIS:Hotspots7Days)
Active fires are located on the basis of the so-called 'hotspots' product of MODIS sensor, on board of the TERRA and ACQUA satellites, which identifies areas on the ground that distinctly hotter than their surroundings. When interpreting the hotspots displayed in the EFFIS Current Situation application, the following must be considered: a) Hotspot location on the map is only accurate within 1.5 km; b) Some fires may be small or obscured by smoke or cloud and remain undetected; c) The satellites also detect other heat sources (not all hotspots are fires). To minimize false alarms and filter out active fires not qualified as wildfires (e.g. agricultural burnings), the system only displays a selected subset of the hotspots detected by the MODIS Rapid Response System. To this end a knowledge based algorithm is applied that takes into account the extent of surrounding land cover categories, the distance to urban areas and artificial surfaces, the confidence level of the hotspot.
