Demo web applications using or related to fire data

 

The demos illustrated below use DataFed web services to build a dynamic application that allows for customized maps and tools for browsing and analyzing data. The maps are generated on-the-fly using a “chain” of web services. The image URL can be embedded and controlled in any other web application. Many of the applications use data from the Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) that provides meteorological and fire danger data collected at a network of fire weather stations across the U.S. WFAS is maintained by the U.S. Forest Service.

 

 

 

WFAS Observation Data Spatio-temporal Browser (client side) A browser with controllable DataFed map view and time view built using JavaScript and HTML. Note: this application currently only works with Internet Explorer browsers. Support for other browsers is being added.

 

WFAS Observation Data Spatio-temporal Browser Datafed.net (server side) A browser with controllable DataFed map view and time view built using the .NET Environment.

 

 

WFAS Data Availability Status A time series display of the number of valid data points per day for the WFAS fire weather network.

WFAS Multi-map Comparison A web application that can compare two spatially interpolated maps. Built using JavaScript and HTML. Note: this application currently only works with Internet Explorer browsers. Support for other browsers is being pursued.

 

 

 

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.

 

Spatially and Temporally Aggregated Number of Acres Burned using BLM fire history data; average acres burned over a 50 km radius per month.

 

Satellite Fire Pixel Comparison – Spatially compare fire pixels derived from MODIS and GOES-ABBA.

 

2000 Idaho/Montana Fires  A DataFed “view” that integrates air quality, fire weather, and satellite data.

 

August 2000 Fires Tools

 

Aggregate Fire Pixels

 

Fire Pixel Comparison

Fire Pixel Comparison Over a Time Span

 

Compare Spatial Interpolation Settings A tool that provides controls for two sets of spatial interpolation and displays a statistic comparing the interpolation results in a third map. Note: this application currently only works with Internet Explorer browsers.
