Preface

Welcome to NSDF’s UBC Firesmoke Data Repurposing website. Here we describe the data repurposing process of UBC’s Smoke Forecast datasets. We inform readers of the challenges and solutions we found when repurposing these short term datasets into a long term dataset.

It is important to note that although we will present the data repurposing process in a linear fashion here, it was not a linear process. Rather, the process was iterative, and at each iteration we introduced new improvements.
