Fire Probability Index (FPI) – Tambacounda, Senegal, 1999-2024

Science Case Name Multi-Hazards in Senegal. Dataset Name/Title Fire Probability Index (FPI) – Tambacounda, Senegal, 1999-2024 Dataset Description The dataset contains gridded data on FPI over Tambacoundaarea of Senegal. Key Methodologies FPI is computed from NDVI, relative humidity and air temperature Temporal Domain 1999-2024 Spatial Domain Tambacounda, Senegal, West Africa Spatial resolution 1 km x 1 km, ca 0.01°x0.01° (EPGS:4326) Key Variables/Indicators Spatio-temporal clusters of heatwave events Data Format ENVI files Source Data ERA5-Land daily average air temperature and relative humidity Copernicus land monitoring dekadal NDVI Accessibility Zenodo, doi 10.5281/zenodo.15212768 Stakeholder Relevance Identifying and assessing past heatwave events for multihazard events monitoring, prediction and preparedness. Limitations/Assumptions Two levels of extinction moisture conents were used (15% and 40%) because the true value is not known. Additional Outputs/information The dataset access is currently restricted due to pending related publication.
