Wildfire spread, hazard and exposure metric raster grids for central Catalonia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide 40 m resolution wildfire spread, hazard and exposure metric raster grids for the 0.13 million ha fire-prone Bages County in central Catalonia (northeastern Spain) corresponding to node influence grid (NIG), crown fraction burned (CFB) and fire transmission to residential houses (TR). Fire spread and behavior data (NIG, CFB and fire perimeters) were generated with fire simulation modeling considering wildfire season extreme fire weather conditions (97th percentile). Moreover, CFB was also generated for prescribed fire (Rx) mild weather conditions. The TR smoothed grid was obtained with a geospatial analysis considering large fire perimeters and individual residential structures located within the study area. We made these raster grids available to assist in the optimization of wildfire risk management plans within the study area and to help mitigate potential losses from catastrophic events.

Wildfire Hazard Mapping Using Cellular Automata
Since fuel load is a major factor influencing wildfire risk, the standard approach to build related hazard maps is mainly grounded on land-cover data. However, the risk level is also influenced by other factors interacting nonlinearly, such as wind, fuel moisture, ignition sources and topography. For these reasons, an increasingly used approach for the computation of hazard maps involves the ex...
متن کاملThe wildland-urban interface raster dataset of Catalonia
We provide the wildland urban interface (WUI) map of the autonomous community of Catalonia (Northeastern Spain). The map encompasses an area of some 3.21 million ha and is presented as a 150-m resolution raster dataset. Individual housing location, structure density and vegetation cover data were used to spatially assess in detail the interface, intermix and dispersed rural WUI communities with...
متن کاملEvaluation of OPC Mask Printing with a Raster Scan Pattern Generator
MEBES 50 kV mask pattern generators use Raster Graybeam writing, providing an effective grid that is 32× finer than the print grid. The electron beam size and print pixel size are variable between 60 nm and 120 nm, allowing a tradeoff between resolution and write time. Raster scan printing optimizes throughput by transferring precisely the amount of data to the mask that is consistent with the...
متن کاملFractal dimension and earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution in the North of Central-East Iran Blocks (NCEIB)
The Gutenberg–Richter parameters (a and b), fractal dimension (DC), and relationships between these parameters are calculated for different regions of the North of Central-East Iran Blocks (NCEIB). The whole examined area (between 34°-36° N and 55°-61° E) is divided into 55 equal square grids. Both the a and b values for the frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD) and the fractal dimension (DC) ...
