Datasets and Access
--------------------

- `DestinE Data Lake data portfolio <https://data.destination-earth.eu/data-portfolio/>`_  
  Provides access to Wildfire FWI datasets and other Destination Earth data products.

- `DestinE Data Lake documentation <https://destine-data-lake-docs.data.destination-earth.eu/>`_  
  Describes discovery and access services, including Harmonised Data Access and Polytope.

These resources provide access to the datasets used in the Wildfire FWI application and guidance on how to retrieve and use them.

Documentation
--------------

- `Climate DT information on the DestinE Platform <https://platform.destine.eu/climate-dt/>`_  
  Provides context on Climate DT simulations, impact-sector applications, model evaluation, and data access routes.
