The gridded dataset presents the average forest fire danger in the present climate for the period 1981-2010 in Europe. 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. The dataset contributes to the EEA indicator "Forest fires": https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/forest-fire-danger-2/assessment

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.

The raster dataset represents the risk of collision of whales with vessels in Europe Seas. The most vulnerable species from ship strikes are cetaceans and turtles, since they go to the surface to breathe. On the other hand, their migration routes can overlap with shipping lanes. The collisions can produce the death or injury of the animals, and are an important threat for the conservation of these species. The dataset has been prepared in the context of the development of the first European Maritime Transport Environmental Report (to be published as an EMSA-EEA report in 2021).
