MYD14A1.006: Aqua Thermal Anomalies & Fire Daily Global 1km [deprecated]

  • This dataset, MYD14A1 V6, provides daily global fire mask composites at 1km resolution using MODIS radiance data, but it has been superseded by MODIS/061/MYD14A1.

  • The dataset is available from 2002-07-04 to 2023-02-25 and is provided by NASA LP DAAC at the USGS EROS Center.

  • The dataset includes bands such as FireMask, MaxFRP, sample, and QA, with descriptions and bitmasks for interpreting the data.

  • MODIS data acquired through LP DAAC has no restrictions on subsequent use, sale, or redistribution.

  • Users can explore this dataset with Google Earth Engine, a platform for geospatial analysis, which is free for research, education, and nonprofit use.

Description

The MYD14A1 V6 dataset provides daily fire mask composites at 1km resolution derived from the MODIS 4- and 11-micrometer radiances. The fire detection strategy is based on absolute detection of a fire (when the fire strength is sufficient to detect), and on detection relative to its background (to account for variability of the surface temperature and reflection by sunlight). The product distinguishes between fire, no fire and no observation. This information is used for monitoring the spatial and temporal distribution of fires in different ecosystems, detecting changes in fire distribution and identifying new fire frontiers, wild fires, and changes in the frequency of the fires or their relative strength.
