  1. Symlink TileMill projects:

     ln -s /path/to/repository/tilemill/fires-intense ~/Documents/MapBox/project/fires-intense
 ln -s /path/to/repository/tilemill/fires-recent ~/Documents/MapBox/project/fires-recent

Updating data

  1. Download new data setting extents (West South East North) = (-85 -59 -29 16):

    http://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/download/

  2. Unzip the downloaded file at data folder;

  3. Import downloaded files, replacing 'new_data_filename' with downloaded filename without extension:

     cd data
 spatialite_tool -i -shp new_data_filename -d fires.sqlite -t fires -c UTF-8 -s 4326
 spatialite fires.sqlite < ../sql/update.sql

  4. Update month and year at legend and teaser texts.

  5. Regenerate maps and upload to Mapbox:

  6. Commit changes to GitHub.

Changing the legends

  1. Log in at the InfoAmazonia Wordpress JEO platform
  2. Go to the 'Maps' section and enter on Fire map
  3. On the 'HTML Legend' box, on the right hand column change the legend according to the month in 3 languages

Regenarating data from scratch

If you need to regenate from scratch, download source files spliting by 3-4 years periods, e.g. 2000 to 2003, 2004-2006, 2007-2009,2010-2012, and so forth.

Merge then:

	ogr2ogr -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2000-2003.shp
	ogr2ogr -append -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2004-2006.shp
	ogr2ogr -append -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2007-2009.shp
	ogr2ogr -append -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2010-2012.shp
	ogr2ogr -append -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2013.shp

Init a Spatialite database with this data:

	spatialite_tool -i -shp data/fires -d data/fires.sqlite -t fires -c UTF-8 -s 4326

Create recent and intense tables:

	spatialite data/fires.sqlite < sql/create.sql
