Claremont-Bear Fire (“North Complex” – Preliminary Vegetation Burn Severity – Estimated Using the Normalized Burn Ratio (rdNBR)
Using the swipe tool the Existing Vegetation Type from 2016 (landfire.gov) can be reviewed in contrast with the rdNBR. 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 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, or maps for this fire; severity will likely change over the coming months as additional fire related mortality takes place. The 2016 Existing Vegetation Type from Landfire.gov (v. 200) is also viewable. The map also includes structure damage information publicly available from CALFIRE.
