Fire danger (Canadian Fire Weather Index system) in the European Forest Fire Information System (version 2-3-1)

This dataset series refers to the fire danger information provided by the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) [1]. ▷_How to cite: see below_◁   Fire danger (Canadian Fire Weather Index system) information is computed in daily maps over Europe with a forecast from 1 to 10 days of forecasted fire danger level using numerical weather predictions. The module is active all year around, although the core of the wildfire season is, in most countries, from 1st of March to 31st of October. Available components for the Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) system operated in EFFIS are: the aggregated FWI, the Initial Spread Index (ISI), the Build Up Index (BUI), the Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC), the Duff Moisture Code (DMC), the Drought Code (DC), the Ranking, and the Anomaly.
