Exploring NOAA-NESDIS HMS Fire Pixel Data with DataFed

The applications presented below use DataFed web services to build a dynamic application that allows for customized maps and tools for browsing and analyzing fire data. The maps are generated on-the-fly using a “chain” of web services. The image URL can be embedded and controlled in other web applications. The applications use data from the NOAA-NESDIS Hazard Mapping System that provides North American fire location and smoke plume data derived from MODIS, GOES, and AVHRR.

	HMS_Fire Browser -- Explore daily fire pixel from HMS, GOES, MODIS and AVHRR.
	Spatial Aggregation of Fire Detection Pixels from the NOAA Hazard Mapping System where fire detections are counted (summed) within a specified area, this example uses an aggregation radius of 50 km. Continental US – compare spatial and temporal patterns among HMS, GOES, MODIS and AVHRR Alaska – compare spatial and temporal patterns among HMS, GOES, MODIS and AVHRR
	Satellite Fire Pixel Comparison – Spatially compare fire pixels for a given day derived from MODIS and GOES-ABBA by overlaying them on a map.
	Aggregate Fire Pixels – Visually compare fire locations from two datasets specifying a time range. (Requires Internet Explorer)
	Fire Location Comparison – Compare fire locations in one dataset with their “nearest neighbor” in space and time from a second dataset. (Requires Internet Explorer)
	Fire Pixel Location Over a Time Span -- Compare fire location over a specified time range in one dataset with their “nearest neighbors” in a second dataset. (Requires Internet Explorer)
