British Columbia Fire Weather Index — 16 August 2023

Description

Daily Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) for the province of British Columbia, Canada, on 16 August 2023, at a 2 km spatial resolution. This date represents conditions during the peak summer fire season, when fire danger levels in British Columbia are typically high.

Usage

fwi_0816_bc

Format

A packed terra raster object with one numeric layer (FWI values).

Details

The object is stored as a packed terra raster (created with terra::wrap()) so that it can be saved in an R .rda file. Use terra::unwrap() to convert it back to a regular terra raster before passing it to ssim_raster or to other terra functions.

Source

Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System; FWI values are derived from meteorological inputs (temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, precipitation).

Examples

data("fwi_0816_bc")
fwi_0816_bc <- terra::unwrap(fwi_0816_bc)
terra::plot(fwi_0816_bc, main = "FWI - 16 August 2023")
