Copernicus EMS fire activations
Overview:
ems.copernicus: fire activations observed event delimitations from 2012 to 2020 resampled to 30 m
Traceability (lineage):
The data source used to produce this dataset is the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, specifically the Rapid Mapping component. All available information has been used, from the activation of the service in 2012 untill 2020, selecting data tagged within the following categories: wildfire, forest fire, land fire, urban fire. For obtaining the rasters, the authors have used the delineation map product provided by EMS, when available. When not available, the First Estimate Product (FEP) was considered. According to the JRC Technical Report "Manual for CEMS-Rapid Mapping Products", the delineation product "provides an assessment of the event impact and extent and, if requested, an update of the situation (monitoring). They are derived from images acquired as soon as possible after the emergency event." The first estimate product is an early information product which aims at providing an extremely fast (yet rough) assessment of most affected locations within the area of interest. For the processing, the vector packages prepared for each of the EMS activation have been used, more specifically the "crisis information layers" detailed here: https://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/ems/group-b-crisis-information-layer . The main document detailing the methdology to obtain the EMS activation products is the JRC Technical Report "Manual for CEMS-Rapid Mapping Products" 2020, by Joubert-Boitat Inès, Wania Annett and Dalmasso Simone.
Scientific methodology:
The Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping methodology of extracting disaster related information is detailed in the 'Manual CEMS for Rapid Mapping Products', published in August 2020 by Joubert-Boitat Inès, Wania Annett, Dalmasso Simone. The documentation is valid from April 2019 and it extends on the work published in 2018 "Product User Manual of Copernicus EMS Rapid
Mapping” by Dorati et al.
The Geo-harmonizer obtained product is represented by a series of rasters, one raster per each season, per each year from 2012 to 2020. In seasons where no fire activation has been registered, the raster has not been produced. For each individual raster, all fire activations relevant vector data packages have been downloaded, processed - by automatically extracting the "crisis information layers" rasterised and resampled at 30 m and mosaicked.
Usability:
Given the methodology that implies VHR data to detect fire burned areas, the data product obtined is useful especially in the context of validation of other fire products, obtained through automatic means.
Uncertainty quantification:
nan
Data validation approaches:
n/a
Completeness:
The CEMS Rapid Mapping functiones based on event triggered by an external entitiy - CEMS Authorised Member - therefore the dataset can not be evaluated for completness.
Consistency:
The rasters are obtained by processing the CEMS vector data, that presented a series of conceptual inconsistencies documented here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b0XPH8EagA8VQnlnNHmbQ64BWXIoz1WZUSb1ppcEjxM/edit
Positional accuracy:
The raster files cover the entire Geo-harmonizer region as defined by the landmask raster dataset available here [source]. For facilitating the user's interaction with the map product, an additional point vector layer has been prepared containing information on the time of activation and the Emergency Rapid Mapping Service code assigned and link to the official Copernicus Emergency Rapid Mapping Service webpage where all the information on the event has been published, making it easy to quickly identify all relevant information on the specific burned areas activation.
The point layer has been derived as the geometric center of the polygon delineating the burned area activation.
Temporal accuracy:
The Copernicus Emergency Service - Rapid Mapping service is activated based on date-precise triggering of Authorised Members, information that is clearly identified in the data processing.
Thematic accuracy:
The rasters have 2 values: 0 for non-burned area and 100 for burned area.
