The SeasFire Cube is a scientific datacube for seasonal fire forecasting around the globe. It has been created in the context of the SeasFire project, which deals with "Earth System Deep Learning for Seasonal Fire Forecasting" and is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) in the context of ESA Future EO-1 Science for Society Call. It contains almost 20 years of data (2001-2021) in an 8-days time resolution and 0.25 degrees grid resolution. It has a diverse range of seasonal fire drivers. It expands from atmospheric and climatological ones to vegetation variables, socioeconomic and the target variables related to wildfires such as burned areas, fire radiative power, and wildfire-related CO2 emissions.
