Global ECMWF Fire Forecasting system - sample data for wildfires in Attica (Greece) on 23-26 July 2018 (Q6679008)

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) produces daily fire danger forecasts and reanalysis products from the Global ECMWF Fire Forecast (GEFF) model. Reanalysis is available through the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS) while the medium-range real-time forecast is available through the EFFIS and GWIS platforms. This repository provides sample datasets for the assessment of the fire danger during the Attica (Greece) wildfires occurred on 23-26 July 2018: ECMWF_EFFIS_20180723_1200_en.tar (ensemble forecasts issued on 2018-07-23, global coverage, all indices) ECMWF_EFFIS_20180723_1200_hr.tar (deterministic forecasts issued on 2018-07-23, global coverage, all indices) ECMWF_EFFIS_20180723-26_1200_hr_e5.tar (deterministic reanalysis based on ERA5 issued for 2018-07-23, global coverage, all indices) ECMWF_EFFIS_20180723-26_1200_en_e5.tar (probabilistic reanalysis based on ERA5 issued for 2018-07-23, global coverage, all indices) ECMWF_EFFIS_20180723-26_e5.tar (probabilistic and deterministic reanalysis based on ERA5 issued for 2018-07-23/26, global coverage, FWI only) bbox.tar, containing 1 index (FWI) for the bounding box: GEFF-reanalysis, which provides historical records of fire danger conditions in the period 23-26 July 2018 e5_hr, this folder contains deterministic model outputs e5_en, this folder contains probabilistic model outputs (made of 10 ensemble members) GEFF-realtime provides real-time forecasts (in the period 14-26 July 2018) generated using weather forcings from the latest model cycle of the ECMWFs Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). rt_hr, this folder contains high-resolution deterministic forecasts (~9 Km) rt_en, this folder contains probabilistic forecasts (~18Km) lon_min = 23, lon_max = 25, lat_min = 37, lat_max = 39 Please note, the sample data provided in this repository is intended to be used for education purposes only (e.g. training courses). These products have been developed as part of the EU-funded Copernicus Emergency Management Services (CEMS) and complement other Copernicus products related to fire, such as the biomass-burning emissions made available by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). The development of the GEFF modelling system was funded through a third-party agreement with the European Commissions Joint Research Centre (JRC). GEFF produces fire danger indices based on the Canadian Fire Weather index as well as the US and Australian fire danger models. GEFF datasets are under the Copernicus license, which provides users with free, full and open access to environmental data.
