Forest Fire Danger Index for Spain

The Fire Product: Forest Fire Danger Index for Spain was part of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Data and Information System (IGBP-DIS) Regional Satellite Fire Data Compilation CD-ROM. Fire danger due to vegetation water stress has been mapped using AVHRR NDVI temporal evolution. The aim of this application is to obtain, in real time, a daily forest fire danger index for Spain. The analysis has been developed on a regular basis from April to September since 1994. The index is sent to the Spanish Forestry Service.
