Home / Every Layer
All 21 properties, all 41 water years, all 28 individual layers - every one openable in your browser in a couple of seconds. No download, no account, no software. Each link streams the Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF directly into a map viewer with the right no-data value and a sensible colour stretch already applied.
Veg_CanopyHt is an areal mean in centimetres, the Fire_LCP CH
band is a stand height in decimetres, and they differ by 2–6× on the same ground.
Each card below states its own units. Full conventions are in
The Data and the
documentation PDF.
No-data is −9999 for most layers, but 0 for all seven fire layers — the eight Fire_LCP bands by FARSITE convention, and flame length, rate of spread and burn probability because masked ground in those is stored as zero rather than as a fill value. The links above set the right value per layer, so ocean and masked ground render blank rather than as data.
One consequence worth knowing on the three fire-behaviour layers: genuinely non-burnable ground inside the wildland mask is stored as 0 as well, so it renders blank too. Blank there means “nothing would burn” as often as it means “no data” — the two cannot be told apart from the raster alone.
The colour stretches are chosen to show structure across California as a whole, not to be optimal for any one place. Once the viewer is open you can change the stretch, the colour map and the basemap; the whole view lives in the URL, so any view you arrive at is shareable.
How good is each layer? That question has its own answer - see Benchmarking, which reports what each layer was tested against and where it is weaker than the alternatives.
