Wildfire Drone Routing — supplementary data

Large supplementary inputs for wildfire_drone_routing (release v1.0.2 of the public-release branch).

This dataset is also archived on Zenodo with a citable DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21359920 (concept DOI, always resolves to the latest version).

The benchmark-critical ("Tier-1") data — per-year config, mask, Pyrologix static risk map, and fire scenarios for 2021-2024 — is committed directly in the GitHub repository and is not duplicated here. You do not need anything in this dataset to reproduce the main benchmark or Figures 2-5 of the paper.

This repository hosts the larger, secondary inputs used only for dataset creation and Figure 6 (the California case-study explainer):

• day2_wfpi_2021/ — daily WFPI "day-2 forecast" rasters for 2021 (wfpi_YYYYMMDD.npy, 365 files) plus the aggregated static_risk_wfpi_yearly.npy. These are derived intermediate products (not the raw NOAA/USFS archives), kept for provenance. Equivalent day-2 intermediates for 2022-2024 were not retained and are not available.
• day1_wfpi_2020/ — daily WFPI "day-1 forecast" rasters for 2020, used to build mask_union_burnable_no_snow_excluded_day1.npy (Fig 6). Also derived, not raw.
• raw_creation_inputs/ — raw source data for code/dataset_creation/nature_dataset_creation/:
  • 2021_Wind-enhanced_Fire_Potential_Index_Forecast_1_DATA/ — raw WFPI forecast-1 daily zip archives (used for grid geo-referencing)
  • 2021_Wind-enhanced_Fire_Potential_Index_Forecast_2_DATA/ — raw WFPI forecast-2 daily zip archives (drive the actual day-2 risk values and the Fig-6 missing-date fire exclusion)
  • USFS_ignition_points.csv, updated_USFS_ignition_points.csv — historical ignition records
  • RDS-2013-0009.6_Data_Format3_GPKG/ — Pyrologix fire risk GeoPackage
  • W_Tot_Ign_Prob_COG/ — ignition probability raster
  • tl_2024_06_tract/, tl_2025_us_uac20/ — US Census TIGER shapefiles (CA tracts, urban areas)
  • cameras.json — ALERTCalifornia camera site metadata
