Data

ffdi-firegions-thenandnow.csv

A further processed version of ffdi-firegions.csv designed to compare an earlier period (July 1969 to June 1995) to a newer one (July 1995 to June 2020).

Columns include:

  • LGA_CODE23: Local Government Area code from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
  • LGA_NAME23: Local Government Area name from the ABS.
  • STE_NAME21: State name from the ABS
  • slug: A URL slug identifier based on the LGA name
  • cent_lat: The latitude of the LGA centroid (based on largest polygon)
  • cent_lon: The longitude of the LGA centroid (based on largest polygon)
  • month: The month
  • n_1970_1995: The number of high fire danger days for this LGA and month across July 1969 to June 1995
  • n_1995_2020: The number of high fire danger days for this LGA and month across July 1995 to June 2020

Requisite data not provided

copernicus-firedanger/australia

Gridded NetCDF (.nc) files from Fire danger indices historical data from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, based on the ERA5 dataset. These are required by /analysis/ffdi but not generated.

These can be downloaded manually from the above link or downloaded automatically using Copernicus's API. The files don't need to have any particular date order; they are combined temporally as part of the analysis. They can be approximately cropped to Australia beforehand (this may speed up processing compared to feeding full global files in).

ffdi-firegions.csv

A semi-processed version of ffdi-firegions-thenandnow.csv (not version controlled due to size: about 1.1 GB uncompressed) but generated by /analysis/1-tidy/ffdi. Contains daily FFDI field-averaged across each council area. May be useful to reconstruct if you would like more recent FFDI data, as the source dataset tracks new observations.

Columns include:

  • LGA_CODE23: Local Government Area code from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
  • slug: A URL slug identifier based on the LGA name
  • LGA_NAME23: Local Government Area name from the ABS.
  • STE_NAME21: State name from the ABS
  • cent_lat: The latitude of the LGA centroid (based on largest polygon)
  • cent_lon: The longitude of the LGA centroid (based on largest polygon)
  • value: The FFDI value for the day
  • dt: The date
