ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci): Sentinel-3 SYN Burned Area Pixel product, version 1.0
The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced maps of global burned area derived from satellite observations. The Sentinel-3 SYN Fire_cci v1.0 pixel product is distributed as 6 continental tiles and is based upon surface reflectance data from the OLCI and SLSTR instruments (combined as the Synergy (SYN) product) onboard the Sentinel-3 A&B satellites. This information is complemented by VIIRS thermal information. This product, called FireCCIS310 for short, is currently available for 2019, but it is foreseen to be extended for additional years. The FireCCIS310 Pixel product described here includes maps at 0.002777-degree (approx. 300m) resolution. Burned area (BA) information includes 3 individual files, packed in a compressed tar.gz file: date of BA detection (labelled JD), the confidence level (CL, a probability value estimating the confidence that a pixel is actually burned), and the land cover (LC) information as defined in the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Land Cover v2.1.1 product. An unpacked version of the data is also available. For further information on the product and its format see the Product User Guide in the linked documentation.

The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced maps of global burned area derived from satellite observations. The Sentinel-3 SYN Fire_cci v1.0 grid product described here contains gridded data on global burned area derived from surface reflectance data from the OLCI and SLSTR instruments (combined as the Synergy (SYN) product) onboard the Sentinel-3 A&B satellites, complemented by VIIRS thermal information. This product, called FireCCIS310 for short, is currently available for 2019, but it is foreseen to be extended for additional years. This gridded dataset has been derived from the FireCCIS310 pixel product (also available) by summarising its burned area information into a regular grid covering the Earth at 0.25 x 0.25 degrees resolution and at monthly temporal resolution. Information on burned area is included in 22 individual quantities: sum of burned area, standard error, fraction of burnable area, fraction of observed area, and the burned area for 18 land cover classes, as defined by the Copernicus Climate Change Initiative(C3S) Land Cover v2.1.1 product. For further information on the product and its format see the Product User Guide in the linked documentation.

ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci): MODIS Fire_cci Burned Area Pixel product, version 5.0
The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced maps of global burned area derived from satellite observations. These MODIS Fire_cci v5.0 pixel products are distributed as 6 continental tiles and are based upon data from the MODIS instrument onboard the TERRA satellite at 250m resolution for the period 2001-2016. This is the first time that MODIS 250m resolution images are used for global burned area (BA) mapping. The Fire_cci v5.0 Pixel product described here includes maps at 0.00224573-degrees (approx. 250m) resolution. Burned area(BA) information includes 3 individual files, packed in a compressed tar.gz file: date of BA detection (labelled JD), the confidence level (CL, a probability value estimating the confidence that a pixel is actually burned), and the land cover (LC) information as defined in the Land_Cover_cci v1.6.1 product. Files are in GeoTIFF format using a geographic coordinate system based on the World Geodetic System (WGS84) reference ellipsoid and using Plate Carrée projection with geographical coordinates of equal pixel size. For further information on the product and its format see the Fire_cci Product User Guide in the linked documentation. Please note, a new version of this product (v5.1) is now available.

The ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (CCI) dataset consists of maps of global burned areas for years 2005 to 2011, developed from satellite observations. The products are distributed as 6 continental tiles and are based upon spectral information from the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), on board the ESA ENVISAT satellite and thermal information from the MODIS active fires product. The Pixel product includes maps at 0.00277778-degree (approx. 300m) resolution. Burned area (BA) information is included in 3 layers: date of BA detection, the confidence level (a probability value estimating the confidence that a pixel is actually burned), and the land cover information as defined in the Land Cover CCI v1.6.1 product. Files are in GeoTIFF format using a geographic coordinate system based on the World Geodetic System (WGS84) reference ellipsoid and using Plate Carrée projection with geographical coordinates of equal pixel size. For further information on the product and its format see the Fire_cci Product User Guide in the linked documentation.

The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci) project has produced maps of global burned area developed from satellite observations. The Small Fire Dataset (SFD) pixel products have been obtained by combining spectral information from Sentinel-2 MSI data and thermal information from MODIS MOD14MD Collection 6 active fire products. This dataset is part of v1.1 of the Small Fire Dataset (also known as FireCCISFD11), which covers Sub-Saharan Africa for the year 2016. Data is available here at pixel resolution (0.00017966259 degrees, corresponding to approximately 20m at the Equator). Gridded data products are also available in a separate dataset.

ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci): MODIS Fire_cci Burned Area Pixel product, version 5.1
The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced maps of global burned area derived from satellite observations. These MODIS Fire_cci v5.1 pixel products are distributed as 6 continental tiles and are based upon data from the MODIS instrument onboard the TERRA satellite at 250m resolution for the period 2001-2020. This product supersedes the previously available MODIS v5.0 product. The v5.1 dataset was initially published for 2001-2017, and has later been periodically extended to include 2018 to 2020. The Fire_cci v5.1 Pixel product described here includes maps at 0.00224573-degrees (approx. 250m) resolution. Burned area(BA) information includes 3 individual files, packed in a compressed tar.gz file: date of BA detection (labelled JD), the confidence level (CL, a probability value estimating the confidence that a pixel is actually burned), and the land cover (LC) information as defined in the Land_Cover_cci v2.0.7 product. Files are in GeoTIFF format using a geographic coordinate system based on the World Geodetic System (WGS84) reference ellipsoid and using Plate Carrée projection with geographical coordinates of equal pixel size. For further information on the product and its format see the Fire_cci Product User Guide in the linked documentation.

The MODIS Fire_cci v5.0 grid products described here are derived from the MODIS instrument onboard the TERRA satellite at 250m resolution for the period 2001 to 2016. This is the first time that MODIS 250m resolution images are used for global burned area (BA) mapping. This dataset is a gridded product, derived from the MODIS Fire_cci v5.0 pixel product by summarising its burned area information into a regular grid covering the Earth for 15-day periods with 0.25 degree resolution. Information on burned area is included in 23 individual quantities: sum of burned area, standard error, fraction of burnable area, fraction of observed area, number of patches and the burned area for 18 land cover classes, as defined by the Land_Cover_cci v1.6.1 product.
