emissions_10km_*YYYY*.csv \Data Comma-delimited ASCII text files (13) containing domain wide emissions for CONUS for each individual year (*YYYY*) from 2003-2015. The emissions files provide estimated emissions and uncertainties for CO2, CO, CH4, and PM2.5, pre-fire fuel load, fuel load consumed, and day burned for 10 kilometer (km) x 10 km grid cells.
emissions_10km_yyyy_format.csv \Data Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing a description of the format, variable names, units, and variable description for the emission files: emissions_10km_*YYYY*.csv files.
emissions_*YYYY*.csv \Data Comma-delimited ASCII text files (13) containing domain wide emissions for CONUS for each individual year (*YYYY*) from 2003-2015. The emissions files provide an estimated emission intensity for CO2, CO, CH4, and PM2.5 (grams per square meter per day [g m-2 day-1]), pre-fire fuel load (g m-2), fuel load consumed (g m-2 day-1), area burned, and day burned for each MFLEI pixel.
emissions_yyyy_format.csv \Data Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing a description of the format, variable names, units, and variable description for the emission files: emissions_*YYYY*.csv files.
emissions_ uncertainty_*YYYY*.csv \Data Comma-delimited ASCII text files (13) containing emissions uncertainty for CONUS for each individual year (*YYYY*) from 2003-2015.
emissions_uncertainty_yyyy_format.csv \Data Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing a description of the format, variable names, units, and variable description for the emission uncertainty files: emissions_uncertainty_*YYYY*.csv files.
HerbCV \Data\Spatial Raster dataset (ArcGIS) containing a raster map of the coefficient of variation of the herbaceous fuel loading as percent. Value of zero for non-herbaceous pixels.
LandCover \Data\Spatial Raster dataset (ArcGIS) containing a raster map of herbaceous, shrub, and forest type groups (FIA).
Rangeland_avg \Data\Spatial Raster dataset (ArcGIS) containing a raster map of the best estimate herbaceous or shrub fuel loading (depending pixel land cover in land cover raster). Shrub fuel loading includes live fuels in the 1 hour, 10 hour, and 100 hour time-lag size classes. (See Urbanski et al., 2017 for size class definitions).
Rangeland_min \Data\Spatial Raster dataset (ArcGIS) containing a raster map of the lower bound estimate of shrub fuel loading. Shrub fuel loading includes live fuels in the 1 hour, 10 hour, and 100 hour time-lag size classes. (See Urbanski et al., 2017 for size class definitions). Value of 0 for non-shrub pixels.
Rangeland_max \Data\Spatial Raster dataset (ArcGIS) containing a raster map of the upper bound estimate of shrub fuel loading. Shrub fuel loading includes live fuels in the 1 hour, 10 hour, and hour time-lag size classes. (See Urbanski et al., 2017 for size class definitions). Value of 0 for non-shrub pixels.
BurnDayDist.csv \Supplements Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing empirical burn day distribution used in the assignment of pixel burn dates.
BurnDayDist_format.csv \Supplements Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing a description of the format, variable names, units, and variable description for the file BurnDayDist.csv.
Fuel_Load_Plot_Data.csv \Supplements Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing forest surface fuel loading data.
Fuel_Load_Plot_Data_format.csv \Supplements Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing a description of the format, variable names, units, and variable description for the file Fuel_Load_Plot_Data.csv.
