Post-processed 1km ALFRESCO Data
The endpoints here provide access to data products derived from outputs from ALFRESCO simulations done using future (AR5/CMIP5) scenarios and historical (CRU TS 4.0) data completed for the Integrated Ecosystem Model (IEM) project. The current endpoints are described in the "Service Endpoints" section below, and are available for the following datasets:
Datasets
| Endpoint Name | Data Layer | Description |
|---|---|---|
| flammability | Flammability | These data are derived from the fire scar outputs and are computed as the average number of times a pixel burned across all reps for all years of the summary year span. Pixels are 1km x 1km. |
| veg_type | Vegetation Type | These data are derived from the vegetation class data, the principal phenomena being modeled by ALFRESCO. They are computed as the average percentage of each vegetation type for a pixel, across all reps for all years of the summary year span. Pixels are 1km x 1km. |
Service endpoints
Here are the existing endpoints for the above datasets.
Flammability
Results from flammability endpoints will look like this:
{
"1950-1979": {
"MODEL-SPINUP": {
"historical": 0.0065
}
},
...
"2010-2039": {
"5modelAvg": {
"rcp45": 0.0014,
"rcp60": 0.0007,
"rcp85": 0.0007
},
...
},
...
}
The above output is structured as such:
{
<era>: {
<model>: {
<scenario>: <value>
}
}
