Prepare raster bricks of empirical fire scar data.

fire_scar_brick(fire_area_history, fah_yrs, emp_yrs, emp_fire_cause,
  domain, shp, template_raster, mc.cores = 32)

Arguments

fire_area_history

shapefile of fire area history.

fah_yrs

fire area history years.

emp_yrs

empirical data years.

emp_fire_cause

character, cause of fire: "lightning" or "all".

domain

character, ALFRESCO domain.

shp

masking shapefile.

template_raster

raster layer.

mc.cores

number of processors.

Value

side effect of reading and/or writing files and pushing objects to global environment.

Details

This function loads relevant fire scar raster brick objects into the global environment from disk if they exist. Otherwise it generates them from scratch, saves to disk for quicker use next time the function is called during a future ALFRESCO run, and similarly pushes the objects to the global environment.

Examples
