Description

This dataset contains KML files for wildfires detected from VIIRS across northwestern Europe from 2012 to 2020. Each file contains the fire progression at each satellite overpass. These files were used to detect the rate of spread for each wildfire event to characterize the fire behavior in temperate northwest Europe, a region with limited fire history. Each fire is provided as a polygon and vector file.
