purpose The cumulative fire count data represent the cumulative count of all fires per pixel, with classes of severity, from 1950-2023 across CONUS. Each geotiff has three layers representing the three severity categories of "low", "moderate", and "high". So pfrid[[1]] represents pFRID calculated for just low severity fires. This is a supplemental dataset for the Vibrant Planet pFRID data analysis.
