Description
This data set can be used to reproduce the results from the following paper: "A classification scheme to determine wildfires from the satellite record in the cool grasslands of southern Canada: considerations for fire occurrence modelling and warning criteria".
The Landsat Images are a series of pngs obtained from https://landbrowser.airc.aist.go.jp/hotarea/ representing agricultural fires in our study area (Kato et al., 2018).
Model_Input_MODIS_Hotspot_Clusters_Revised.csv contains a list of clusters of MODIS hotspots and associated attributes classified as either agricultural or grassland wildfires and is used to create a GAM to explore the conditions of these fires.
Model_Predicted_MODIS_Hotspot_Clusters_Revised.csv contains the complete list of MODIS hotspot clusters and associated attributes for our study area from 2002-2018. These clusters have been classified as either agricultural or grassland wildfires using the GAM mentioned above.
