MYD14A2.006: Aqua Thermal Anomalies & Fire 8-Day Global 1km [deprecated]

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• This MODIS dataset (MYD14A2 V6) has been deprecated and replaced by a newer version (MODIS/061/MYD14A2).

• It provides 8-day composite fire masks at 1km resolution, covering the period from 2002-07-04 to 2023-02-18.

• The dataset includes fire mask and quality information layers, with pixel values indicating fire confidence and land/water state.

• Users can access the dataset through Google Earth Engine and utilize provided documentation for further information.

• MODIS data and products acquired through the LP DAAC have no restrictions on use, sale, or redistribution.

Caution: This dataset has been superseded by MODIS/061/MYD14A2.
