WRI 的注意事项:WRI 决定停止更新 FORMA 提醒。目标是简化 Global Forest Watch 用户体验并减少冗余。
我们发现,Terra-i 和 GLAD 的使用频率更高。
此外,使用 GLAD 作为标准,发现 Terra-i 在全球范围内优于 FORMA。
FORMA 警报是通过结合使用两种 MODIS 产品来检测的:NDVI(归一化差值植生指数)和 FIRMS(资源管理系统火灾信息)。NDVI 更新每 16 天处理一次,而火灾更新每天处理一次。针对每个生态群组单独开发模型,以将这两个输入与森林砍伐面积相关联,并使用 Hansen 年度树木覆盖率损失数据来训练模型。最低阈值是像素清除率达到 25% 时才符合提醒条件,不过阈值因生态群组而异,以最大限度地减少误报。
以下是一个脚本示例,可用于快速了解 FORMA 数据集。
此 ImageCollection 中的图片包含在新的 MODIS NDVI 数据可用后计算出的原始 FORMA 数据,大约每 16 天更新一次。

The goal was\nto simplify the [Global Forest Watch](https://www.globalforestwatch.org)\nuser experience and reduce redundancy.\nWe found that [Terra-i](http://www.terra-i.org/terra-i.html) and\n[GLAD](https://glad-forest-alert.appspot.com/) were more frequently used.\nMoreover, using GLAD as a standard, found that Terra-i outperformed\nFORMA globally.\n\nFORMA alerts are detected using a combination of two MODIS\nproducts: NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and FIRMS\n(Fires Information for Resource Management System). NDVI updates are\nprocessed every 16 days, while fire updates are processed daily. Models\nare developed individually for each ecogroup to relate the two inputs to\nthe area of clearing, using the Hansen annual tree cover loss data to train\nthe model. The minimum threshold to qualify as an alert is 25% of the pixel\ncleared, though thresholds vary by ecogroup to minimize false positives.\nHere is an [example script](https://code.earthengine.google.com/f29b1e4360f3fc36847bd789ceeb20f6)\nfor a quick introduction to the FORMA datasets.\n\nThe images in this ImageCollection contain the raw FORMA data calculated after new\nMODIS NDVI data becomes available, approximately every 16 days.\n\nThe image contains 4 bands. The 'delta', 'near_term_delta', and 'clearing' bands\nall give a percentage of clearing (from 0 to 100) for different accumulation periods.\nAccuracy gives a measure of confidence in these predictions\n(0 = very little confidence, 100 is high confidence).\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n250 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Description |\n|-------------------|-------|-----|-----|------------|---------------------------------------------|\n| `delta` | % | 0 | 100 | meters | Percentage of clearing in the last 96 days |\n| `near_term_delta` | % | 0 | 100 | meters | Percentage of clearing in the last 32 days |\n| `accuracy` | % | 0 | 100 | meters | Confidence in predictions |\n| `clearing` | % | 0 | 100 | meters | Percentage of clearing in the last 365 days |\n\n### Image Properties\n\n**Image Properties**\n\n| Name | Type | Description |\n|----------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| year | INT | Year of the most recent data included in the dataset |\n| biweekly | INT | The biweekly (every 16 days) period of the year |\n| date | STRING | Date, in \"YYYY-MM-DD\" format, of the last MODIS NDVI data included in this dataset |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nThe FORMA datasets are available without restriction\non use or distribution.
