ESA Fire_cci Burned Area data: Grid product ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Fire_cci Burned Area (BA) product v5.0 was obtained by combining spectral information from Terra MODIS at 250m spatial resolution (https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/dataset_discovery/modis/modis_products_table/mod09gq) and thermal information from MODIS active fires product (http://modis-fire.umd.edu/index.html). MODIS Fire_cci BA products v5.0 are available for years 2001 to 2016 at two different resolutions: pixel (aprox. 250m) and grid (0.25 degrees). Details of the Grid product --------------------------- The files in these directories include Burned area information with 23 individual layers: Sum of burned area, Standard error, Fraction of burnable area, Fraction of observed area, Number of patches, and Sum of burned area in vegetation classes as defined by the Land Cover CCI v.1.6.1 land cover product. A global coverage of 0.25 x 0.25 degrees grid resolution is stored in a single file for each 15 day period. These bimonthly files are grouped by year. The grid product is stored in geographical coordinates. Each cell has a latitude and longitude assignment which is tied to centre of the grid cell. File format ----------- The product format is NetCDF-CF. Further information ------------------- For further information see the Product User Guide at www.esa-fire-cci.org/documents, or in the ftp://anon-ftp.ceda.ac.uk/neodc/esacci/fire/docs/v5.0/ folder.
