General instructions for view output data for the paper of "Investigation of the fire radiative energy biomass combustion coefficient - a comparison of polar and geostationary satellite retrievals over the Conterminous United States", which is submitted to “Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences”. The output data sets include all data used to generate nine Figures (Figure 1 - Figure 9). The output data sets have three data formats, including Excel Sheet(*.xlsx) or GeoTIFF (*.tif) or ESRI Shapefile (*.shp). All data sets are compressed into gzip-format files (*.gz). The compressed gzip files can be decompressed using most commonly used compressing softwares (i.e., 7zip in Windows, and gzip in Linux) We recommend the following softwares to view these data. 1. Microsoft office excel for viewing CSV (*.csv) and Excel Sheet (*.xlsx) files. 2. Image processing softwares (i.e., Harris Geospatial's ENVI) for viewing GeoTIFF (*.tif) files. 3. ESRI ArcMap for viewing ESRI Shapefile (*.shp). ######################################################################## output data sets for each Figure (Figure 1 - Figure 9) ######################################################################## Figure 1 -------- Fig1b_LAST_CHANGE_Fire_bands742_pre_fire.tif.gz Fig1b_LAST_CHANGE_Fire_bands742_pre_fire.tfw.gz Fig1b_LAST_CHANGE_Fire_bands742_post_fire.tif.gz Fig1b_LAST_CHANGE_Fire_bands742_post_fire.tfw.gz Fig1c_LAST_CHANGE_Fire_dnbr.tif.gz Fig1d_LAST_CHANGE_Fire_BurnSeverity.tif.gz Figure 2 -------- Figure2a_Halstead fire.xlsx.gz Figure2b_Halstead fire.xlsx.gz Figure2c_Halstead fire.xlsx.gz Figure2d_Halstead fire.xlsx.gz Figure 3 -------- Fig3_MTBS_BurnSeverity.tar.gz Fig3_GOES_ActiveFireDetections.tar.gz Fig3_MODIS_ActiveFireDetections.tar.gz Fig3_HalsteadFire_Primeter.tar.gz Figure 4 -------- Fig4_BiomassCombustion_445fires.xlsx.gz Figure 5 -------- Fig5_BiomassCombustionPerUnitArea_445fires.xlsx.gz Figure 6 -------- Fig6_BiomassConsumption_from_ThreeDifferentWays.xlsx.gz Figure 7 -------- Fig7_GOES_MODIS_FireRadiativeEnergy_2011_2012.xlsx.gz Figure 8 -------- Fig8_BiomassConsumption_FireRadiativeEnergy.xlsx.gz Figre 9 ------- Fig9_SensitivityAnalysis.xlsx.gz By Fangjun Li on 2/13/2018
