Indonesian Fire Emissions from Fused Satellite Data (2015-2020)

July 2015 to December 2020 provides the temporal coverage for this dataset of 10-minute fire emissions across Indonesia at 0.1-degree intervals. Named Fused AHI-VIIRS based fire Emissions (FAVE), it uses a top-down approach fusing high-temporal-resolution Himawari-8 AHI data with high-spatial-resolution VIIRS data to calculate fire radiative energy and smoke aerosol emissions. The data is provided by ORNL_CLOUD in monthly CSV files.

Use Cases

• Analyzing diurnal fire emission patterns using the 10-minute 'fire observation time' intervals.
• Modeling regional air quality impacts by mapping 'various fire emissions' across different land 'classification' types like peatland and tropical forest.
• Studying fire radiative energy (FRE) dynamics and emission coefficients (Ce) derived from fused VIIRS and AHI satellite retrievals.
• Assessing the spatial distribution of fire activity and particulate matter emissions across Indonesia from 2015 to 2020.

Strengths

• High spatiotemporal resolution, with data reported every 10 minutes at 0.1-degree intervals across Indonesia.
• Methodological strength from fusing two satellite data sources: high-temporal Himawari-8 AHI (10 min) and high-spatial VIIRS (375 m).
• Covers a multi-year period from July 2015 to December 2020, enabling longitudinal analysis of fire emissions.

Limitations

• Key metadata such as exact row count, file size, and complete column list are unavailable from the provided sources.
• There is a conflict in the 'last updated' date between platforms (2026-03-13 vs. 2020-12-31), casting doubt on recent maintenance.
• The license is ambiguously listed as 'other-license-specified' without further details on usage restrictions.
