Example Analysis on the Pigeon fire in the MHRD Complex in 1999, using a Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) time series

Figure 2: Example Analysis on the Pigeon fire in the MHRD Complex in 1999, using a Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) time series and differenced NBR imagery (1998 to 2000). A. NBR trends by the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) burn severity categories demonstrate a linkage between higher severity (NBR difference) and higher recovery times. B. Error analyses were completed by comparing the regression model (green line) with the observed averaged recovery times (blue points) and averaged absolute error (orange line). C. The regression model applied to the differenced NBR image shows the spatial distribution of the forecasted recovery time at the fire scale.
