Description

The daily NOAA-21 NASA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Thermal Anomalies/Fire (VJ214A1) Version 2 data product provides daily information about active fires and other thermal anomalies. The VJ214A1 data product is a global, 1km gridded composite of fire pixels detected from VIIRS 750m bands over a daily (24-hour) period. The VJ214 data products are designed after the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Thermal Anomalies/Fire product suite.
