Copernicus data and software offering for the analysis and forecast of forest fires
Abstract
The Copernicus Programme is the European Program dedicated to developing European capacity in Earth Observation (EO ). The objective of Copernicus is to monitor and forecast the state of the environment on land, sea and in the atmosphere, in order to support climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, the efficient management of emergency situations and improve the security of every citizen.
As part of Copernicus, ECMWF has created a wealth of datasets related to the detection of fire events, their prediction and related emissions in the atmosphere. These products contribute to the operational services provided by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) and the Copernicus A tmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) and consists of real time forecasts as well as historical datasets based on ECMWF reanalysis database ERA5. Most of these data are available either through dedicated web portals such as the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS) or through submission of web requests. We will present the complete wildfire-related data offering under the Copernicus CDS with demos of both platforms as well as example use cases to post-process the available data using the caliver R package.- Publication:
