AB - In response to recent climate change, the occurrences of large-scale wildfire are increasing around the world, and the wildfires in South Korea also tends to increase as well. Recently, many wildfires which occurred in North Korea have spread to the territory of South Korea including the demilitarized zone. The records of past wildfire occurrences can be retrieved by using an open API (application programming interface), but only domestic wildfire cases are provided because they are collected by administrative agencies. For this reason, we built a GIS database of daily wildfire occurrences by reprocessing MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data for the period of 2000-2015 in order to create long-term time-series wildfire dataset of the Korean Peninsula including North Korea. We used MOD14A1/MYD14A1 products of Terra/Aqua satellites for extracting wildfire information such as occurrence location, reliability of detection, and fire radiative power, which were written in the Shapefile format. Our GIS database can be utilized by other researchers to analyze the spatio-temporal characteristics of wildfire in the Korean Peninsula, so the data files are provided on the web for free download.
