Fire Severity Classes (Spot5) for Alpine fires January/February 2003.
Anzlic ID:
ANZVI0803002974
Custodian:
Abstract:
The Victorian Alpine Fires 2003 were ignited on 8th January 2003 by a series of lightning strikes across north-eastern Victoria. This layer depicts fire severity, derived from Spot 5 imagery across the extent of the fires to provide a reliable strategic management dataset to interpret fire effects.

Purpose:
This vector cover for the Fire Severrity Class is derived from a Maximum Likelihood Classification of the SPOT 5 data. Six classes were established to discriminate fire severity. The classification is trained on a considerable number of interpreted photo sites and has not been assessed for accuracy. The classification primarily represents crown burn and crown scorch classes of eucalypt forests but is applied across non-eucalypt areas. This classification is to be used as a guide only for fire severity as some areas may be incorrectly classified.
