Fire Severity Classes (SPOT) for East Victoria Fires 2006-07 for North East Gippsland Complex only - FINAL VERSION
dataset:
FIRE_SEV07SP
The East Victoria Fires 2006-07 were ignited on 1st December 2006 by a series of lightning strikes across eastern Victoria.
This layer depicts fire severity, derived from SPOT imagery, across the extent of the fires to provide a reliable strategic
management dataset to interpret fire effects. (Draft Documentation only)

- Purpose
- The fire severity classification is primarily derived from SPOT multispectral satellite data. Post-fire (4 & 12 February 2007) SPOT images are analysed for vegetation changes, a process carried out by DSE Land Information Group. Aerial photograph interpretation supplements the coverage where SPOT data is unavailable. The combined fire severity classification is validated on a number of field sites and a large number of high resolution aerial photograph validation sites. The classification primarily differentiates crown burn (higher severity) and crown scorch (lower severity) classes of eucalypt forests, though the remote sensing method is also applied to treeless areas. For these areas in particular the classification should be used as a guide only, as localised anomalies may occur. For instance, drought-affected grassland may not be reliably differentiated from burnt grassland if the condition of each is bare soil. Used with care and with field checking of your target area for your particular purpose, this dataset provides a reliable strategic overview of the whole fire.
