Abstract

Summary

The method of fire danger assessment using an improved Fire Weather Index is proposed. A modification of FWI method involves utilization of the soil moisture deficit, in addition to the six components (subindices) of the FWI system, which are predictors of daily potential fire. In order to calculate the subindices values weather data are downloaded from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. Soil moisture deficit is calculated using Sentinel-1 radar satellite data on water saturation degree of soil surface layer and geospatial parameters from 3D Soil Hydraulic Database of Europe.
