ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci): MODIS Fire_cci Burned Area Pixel product, version 5.0

The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced maps of global burned area derived from satellite observations. These MODIS Fire_cci v5.0 pixel products are distributed as 6 continental tiles and are based upon data from the MODIS instrument onboard the TERRA satellite at 250m resolution for the period 2001-2016. This is the first time that MODIS 250m resolution images are used for global burned area (BA) mapping.

The Fire_cci v5.0 Pixel product described here includes maps at 0.00224573-degrees (approx. 250m) resolution. Burned area(BA) information includes 3 individual files, packed in a compressed tar.gz file: date of BA detection (labelled JD), the confidence level (CL, a probability value estimating the confidence that a pixel is actually burned), and the land cover (LC) information as defined in the Land_Cover_cci v1.6.1 product.

Files are in GeoTIFF format using a geographic coordinate system based on the World Geodetic System (WGS84) reference ellipsoid and using Plate Carrée projection with geographical coordinates of equal pixel size. For further information on the product and its format see the Fire_cci Product User Guide in the linked documentation.

Please note, a new version of this product (v5.1) is now available.
