VIIRS/JPSS2 Thermal Anomalies and Fire Daily L3 Global 1km SIN Grid V002
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/viirs/vj214a1.002
The daily NOAA-21 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Thermal Anomalies and Fire (VJ214A1) Version 2 data product provides daily information about active fires and other thermal anomalies.
Description
The VJ214A1 data product is a global, 1 kilometer (km) gridded composite of fire pixels detected from VIIRS 750 meter (m) 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.
The VJ214A1 product provides a total of four Science Dataset (SDS) variables for the confidence of fire, maximum fire radiative power (FRP), quality assessment (QA), and position of fire within scan. Each data product file is provided in HDF-EOS5 format. A low resolution browse is also provided showing the fire mask variable with a color map applied in JPEG format.
