Active Fires Frequency (01/2003 - 09/2019) - GRID-Geneva

Raster of Active Fires frequency per square kilometer, based on MODIS Collection 6 Active Fire Product MCD14ML. Only location points described as "presumed vegetation fire" in the attributes are included in the frequency calculation.

This raster layer was produced by GRID-Geneva.

Data accessed in December 2018, at <a href="https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/dataprod/mod14.php" target="_blank">https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/dataprod/mod14.php</a>.

The MODIS active fire product detects fires in 1-km pixels that are burning at the time of overpass under relatively cloud-free conditions using a contextual algorithm. Please see the <a href="http://modis-fire.umd.edu/files/MODIS_C6_Fire_User_Guide_B.pdf" target= "_blank">MODIS Active Fire Product User's Guide</a> for detailed information about the MODIS active fire product suite.
