Projected forest fire danger (2071-2100; RCP 4.5; seasonal severity rating), Dec. 2016

The gridded dataset presents the forest fire danger in Europe for projected climate conditions under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 scenario for the temporal range 2071-2100. The forest fire danger is expressed by the average Seasonal Severity Rating index (derived from the Canadian Fire Weather Index System), provided by the Joint Research Centre. The SSR series was computed usign the GCM-RCM run KNMI-RACMO2-ECHAM5 of ENSEMBLES project. Average 2071-2100 SSR levels are provided in the dataset. The dataset contributes to an earlier version of the EEA indicator "Forest fires": https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/forest-fire-danger-2/assessment.
