This map is an example of rapid Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) calculated immediately after a wildfire. This example was made while smoke was still obscuring visibility. While dNBR is sensitive to vegetation changes and can be used to produce a preliminary severity map, this map should be considered informational only and not a replacement for any officially generated perimeter, damage, severity, or other maps for this fire. Using the swipe tool the Existing Vegetation Type from 2016 (landfire.gov) can be reviewed in contrast with the dNBR.
Disclaimer: The Normalized Burn Ratio was calculated before the fire was fully extinguished. The data was collected through the smoke layer using Sentinel 2 satellite imagery. While dNBR is sensitive to vegetation changes and can be used to produce a preliminary map, this map should be considered information only and not a replacement for any officially generated perimeter, damage, severity, or maps for this fire. The 2016 Existing Vegetation Type from Landfire.gov (v. 200) is also viewable.
Remember, while rdNBR is sensitive to vegetation changes and can be used to produce a preliminary map, this map should be considered informational only and not a replacement for any officially generated perimeter, damage, severity, evacuation, or other maps for this fire.
