norcal-fires-imagery

Making open imagery of the October 2017 Sonoma-Napa fires available as slippy maps.

Plan:

• PENDING: Move all post-event DG data to an EC2 instance.
• Try making some false color tifs.
• Upload to Mapbox using the uploads API.
• Make a map with everything, like this one
• Blog about what worked, what didn't.

Start downloading everything listed on DG site:

dirnames=( "105001000C598E00" "20300103003FD800SWIR" "103001007107C600" "1040010033CAE100" "1040010034C51100" "1040010033888D00" )

for i in "${dirnames[@]}"
do
  cat files.txt | grep -v ovr | grep $i | xargs wget -P $i/
done
