Active Fires Frequency (MODIS) 2003-2021

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 January 2022, at https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/dataprod/mod14.php [https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/dataprod/mod14.php].

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 MODIS Active Fire Product User's Guide [https://modis-fire.umd.edu/files/MODIS_C6_Fire_User_Guide_C.pdf] for detailed information about the MODIS active fire product suite.
