Summary
Composite Burn Index (CBI) Plot Data from 2015 field campiagn. These data are used in the detection of unburned areas using Landsat imagery, see for more info: Meddens, A. J., C. A. Kolden, and J. A. Lutz. 2016. Detecting unburned areas within wildfire perimeters using Landsat and ancillary data across the northwestern United States. Remote Sensing of Environment 186:275-285. Note that the data are entered into the jFiremon database management tool and outputted as a Microsoft Access database. Most plot locations are recorded in the UTM_zone11 with NAD83 datum, although some are recorded in zone 10. See spreadsheets for more info. A total of 380 plots were recorded.

Purpose
The data were collected across multiple fires within the nortwestern US. We targeted rangeland and forest fires in 2014 for sampling. The CBI measurements were taken on small to no deviations of dNBR to target low to no burn severity locations.
