The dashboard has been created to support navigation of the data products produced by CRU/UEA climate datasets and reports.
Select country from the list below to view fire data aggregated for that country.
Set the timescale using the radio buttons. Selecting an IPCC AR6 region will take you to a page showing the timeseries of all variables processed.
The raw data is at 0.25 degrees resolution. The Natural Earth_v5.0.0 country mask is used to compute aggregated totals at the monthly, yearly (JAN-DEC), yearly (JUL-JUN), seasonal (DJF), seasonal (DJF), seasonal (MAM), and seasonal (SON) timescales.
The total area burned by fires in the country in units of thousands km².
The total area burned by forest fires in the country from gridcells having 30% tree cover in units of thousands of km².
The total carbon emissions from all fires in the country in units of thousands of tonnes of C.
The total carbon emissions from forest fires in the country from gridcells having 30% tree cover in units of thousands of tonnes of C.
The underlying data for each plot is in CSV format.
The timeseries are fit with a robust OLS regression (Theil-Sen) and a regression t-test is performed to determine if the OLS slope is significant at the 95% confidence level (p < 0.05, α = 0.05). This is only shown when the alternative hypothesis is true. The uncertainty band for the 95% confidence interval on the slope and intercept is provided. For each timescale (with the exception of the monthly data), 5-yr means are shaded as a visual guide to help understand the variability and potential trend in the data.
