Sources and disasters

Added by the owner (also in FanGass's sources). Machine-readable: ERDDAP https://dm3.caricoos.org/erddap (datasets Sargassum_Biomass_*, grams per square metre). Good for a local, measured series beside the satellite index.

Suggested by the owner. REST API api.effis.emergency.copernicus.eu/rest/2/burntareas/current/ (dates as full datetimes). WMS also has fire danger (FWI) for a later raster layer.

Alerts are model outputs, not official warnings (terms point 3 to 5): the map says so.

Loaded per country and level when someone picks it. Share-alike levels (CC BY-SA) need the same licence if we redistribute the shapes.

No key needed for /download/csv with SQL, one query per first letter (the whole table times out). The table's metadata names no licence; the owner decided CC BY 4.0 with this credit on 2026-11-05 (Hansen data is CC BY 4.0). `latest` still points at v20250515 (to 2024): the version is pinned in src/server/forest.ts. Also loss from fires and gross emissions (Mg CO2e). Loaded into forest_loss by scripts/load-forest-loss.ts. T-064, ADR-042.

One GeoPackage per year (180-205 MB gzipped, 480 MB unpacked), table `ba` (id, initialdate, finaldate, area_ha, geom); files moved to data.effis.emergency.copernicus.eu. Citation: Artés et al. 2019, Scientific Data 6:296, doi:10.1038/s41597-019-0312-2.

Pre-styled tiles on Google Cloud Storage: gfc_v1.13/loss_year_alpha (loss by year) and gfc2015/tree_alpha (tree cover in 2000, z 0-12; v1.13 has no tree cover tiles, and treecover2000 is the same in every version). Bump the loss version when v1.14 ships. Hectares per country: source gfw-tcl-stats (T-064).

One CSV for the last three years (12 MB) for refreshes, one since 1980 (145 MB) for history; spur tracks dropped; recent seasons are provisional until the agencies finalise them.

API api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations?taxon_id=130178, paged by id at one request a second. Counts follow how many people report; many unconfirmed (quality kept on the row).

ArcGIS FeatureServer COOLR_Reports_Points on gis.earthdata.nasa.gov; the old data.nasa.gov and NCCS endpoints are gone.

Wildfires, storms, icebergs, volcanoes. v2.1 is being retired; we use v3.

ImageServer exportImage in EPSG:3857 with our colour rule; no tile cache, no past dates (history is 192 MB NetCDF a day).

Daily KMZ cwcgom.aoml.noaa.gov/SIR/KMZ/sargassum_risk_YYYYMMDD.kmz. Risk labels (Low, Medium, High, Warning) read from the line colours; not confirmed. Seen in FanGass's sources.

PacIOOS ncWMS serves EPSG:3857. FY2027 NOAA budget puts coral programmes at risk (R-002).

GeoJSON product/vs_v3/vs_polygons.json (5.8 MB). Regions, not reef footprint: a region includes the sea around its reefs. Allen Coral Atlas (CC BY 4.0) would give true reef area (T-051).

We keep samples of 100,000 cells/L and more. Sampling thin in 2022 and 2023.

owid-co2-data.csv (14 MB) from GitHub. Kept: total_ghg (Mt CO2e, with land use), co2, ghg_per_capita, consumption_co2_per_capita (to 2023), share_of_temperature_change_from_ghg. OWID's README: its own work CC BY 4.0, third-party data under the original authors' terms; the Global Carbon Budget and Jones et al. publish their data openly with attribution (their own pages not re-read on 2026-11-05). T-054, ADR-039.

Sampled at 0.15° above a threshold (ADR-007). River plumes give false positives (R-003).

PAGER alert level (green to red) kept as `alert` when USGS gives one.

API cckpapi.worldbank.org/cckp/v1, one call per indicator for all_countries (tas, txx, fd, cdd65, hdd65, pr, cdd). The 1950-2024 collection gives different txx and fd than the 1950-2022 one (France 2022 hottest day 36.9 against 28.7 °C): we use 1950-2024 only. Indicator definitions and degree-day units not confirmed (portal answered 403 to automated reads), so cooling and heating show as change, not as a unit. Days above 30 °C and nights above 23 °C left out: their country values look wrong (France about 0 hot days). T-054, ADR-039.

Parked by the owner (2026-11-05): no key wanted for now. Ingester ready (VIIRS NOAA-20, high confidence, 20 MW and more); runs only once FIRMS_MAP_KEY is set. Without a key the API answers 400 "Invalid MAP_KEY" (checked at each registry refresh). Suomi-NPP stopped delivering on 2026-11-01.

WMS GetCapabilities returned 502 on 2026-11-04.

GFW became Global Nature Watch on 2026-09-21; domains still answer. Tiles are encoded (date and confidence in RGB): decode client-side or ingest counts.

Linked from the CARICOOS tracker. Answered 522 (server down) on 2026-11-04.

Hazel API answered on 2026-11-04 (tsunami run-ups). Good for impact history.

Basic service level since NOAA support ended in 2025; v4 uses AMSR2.

A proxy for blooms, not a measure of harmful ones.

The reference for disaster impact; terms block showing its rows publicly without an agreement.

Added by the owner. Its sources (Météo-France Guadeloupe, Martinique, Îles du Nord; NOAA SIR and AFAI; USF outlook; CARICOOS; ANAMAR; Sargassum Hub) each have their own row. Usable only with the publisher's agreement (a free widget exists).

WFS answers without a key (webservices.volcano.si.edu/geoserver, GVP-VOTW:E3WebApp_Eruptions1960 as GeoJSON) but the terms are non-commercial: restricted until the owner decides (USER_CHECKS 2026-11-04, Commercial or not?). volcano.si.edu pages refuse automated reads (403).

Seen in FanGass's sources. Can be linked from the sargassum section.

Linked from the sargassum section only. Its AFAI is used through NOAA AOML instead.
