Description:
Abstract:
This data set is the soil burn severity for the Paradise Fire. The data set was create from the Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC)  imagery from Forest Service's Remote Sensing Applications Center
(RSAC) is in Salt Lake City, Utah. The images were dated November 5, 2003.
Purpose:
This data was created for the purpose of supporting the Burned Area Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (BAER) team personnel and report.
Supplemental_Information:
Many documents exist within the BAER project folder to support these map documents and data sets.  These supporting documents exists on a variety of media types and formats.

Access_Constraints: No special access constraints are attached to these data sets beyond the access imposed from the contributing agencies. These data sets were distributed to the BAER Team under an EMERGENCY situation. The user is responsible for obtaining suitable permissions to view, download, manipulate, display or otherwise use the data sets contained within this project.
Use_Constraints:
These data sets are for OFFICIAL USE only.  We make every effort to utilize data sets that are most current with accuracy parameters consistent with the intended use of  natural resource management.  Because the data sources and purposes are variable, the data should be used for display purposes only and is not valid for use in site planning projects, making hazard assessments, or for legal determination of jurisdiction.

Process_Description:
The paradise watershed responses was used with vegetation in  conjunction to create the burn severity.  The vegetation was re-classed by the holland95 or vegetation type.  Mike Parent, CA-PVT, Hydrologist and Suzanne Loophole, CA-PVT, Soil Scientist  defined the reclassification.

Areas of Chaparral that have a northern aspect or areas observed by field or helicopter recon were re-classified to a value of 4. Values of 0 in PARABARCA were reclassified to a value of 1.
For all other values  burn severity =  paradise watershed responses
