MODIS Aqua Daily BAI [deprecated]

  • This MODIS/MYD09GA_BAI dataset is deprecated and has been replaced by a newer version.

  • The dataset provides daily Burn Area Index (BAI) globally from 2002-07-04 to 2017-03-30.

  • BAI measures the spectral distance of each pixel from a charcoal reference point to identify burned areas.

  • The dataset is freely available for research, education, and non-profit use through Google Earth Engine.

Description

The Burn Area Index (BAI) is generated from the Red and Near-IR bands, and measures the spectral distance of each pixel from a reference spectral point (the measured reflectance of charcoal). This index is intended to emphasize the charcoal signal in post-fire images. See Chuvieco et al. (2002) for details. This product is generated from the MODIS/MYD09GA surface reflectance composites.
