Burning calendar
12-month calendar
Archive not loaded in this prototype. Month-by-month and year-on-year comparison needs the FIRMS archive (MODIS from 2000, VIIRS from 2012). The pipeline is designed for it; no archive data is shown here and none is simulated.
Hot spots near Singapore
Basemap: NASA GIBS, Blue Marble Shaded Relief and Bathymetry. Outlines: Natural Earth admin-1. Points and cells: NASA FIRMS, nominal- and high-confidence only.
Wind windows
Heuristic, not a forecast. Index = burning cells × wind alignment × (0.5 + 0.5 × dry spell ÷ 5). A day is “aligned” when at least one cell is burning and the wind blows within 60° of the line to Singapore. The thresholds are chosen, not fitted, and nothing here has been checked against air-quality readings. Surface wind at one point per province is not the wind that carries smoke.
