Active fires in the World

Active fires in the World

In this notebook we use the last 7d of active fires.

Where get data? You can ask a specific location in history with the links below: Last fires data Ask archives data

Globals vars and functions (play me before others blocks)

//global 1
//hide
const basePath = __dirname; // you can change me!

// custom functions
async function listDays(start, end) {
    for(var arr=[], dt=new Date(start); 
            dt<=new Date(end); 
            dt.setDate(dt.getDate()+1)){
        arr.push(new Date(dt).toISOString().slice(0,10));
    }
    return arr;
}

async function sleep(time) {
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, time));
}

Download the last 7 days into a file

const r = await fetch('https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/active_fire/modis-c6.1/csv/MODIS_C6_1_Global_7d.csv')
const content = await r.text();
_fs.writeFileSync(basePath + 'modis-active-fire.csv', content);
print("Done!");
