PREFIRE Data Release Announcement

by ASDC - micook » Tue Aug 19, 2025 8:24 am America/New_York

The ASDC Team is excited to announce that all PREFIRE data products are available to the public via the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) Distributed Active Archive Center! This includes Level 1 Radiance, retrieved Level 2 products, Level 3 climatologies, and supporting auxiliary products.

Level 2 science data collections include a Cloud Mask, Spectral Flux, Surface Emissivity, and Atmospheric Properties (which provides surface temperatures, vertical temperature and water vapor profiles, and column water vapor).
The Level 3 products are 1°x1° gridded, monthly climatologies of Level 2 Surface Emissivity. This product is sorted by surface type to facilitate science analysis and data assimilation.

For certain fields (column water vapor, outgoing longwave radiation, and surface emissivity near 11 and 19 μm), associated GeoTIFF files/renderings are available in the collections with names ending in “COG”. These can be visualized with a variety of software, including QGIS and ArcGIS.

PREFIRE product User Guides and ATBDs can be found on the PREFIRE website or on the ASDC website with the data collections. You can also learn more about the tools and services to access PREFIRE data https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a1ce84c0495740b3ace2195cec987354
