Northern Territory of Australia Fire Mosaic
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Fire Product: Northern Territory of Australia Fire Mosaic was part of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Data and Information System (IGBP-DIS) Regional Satellite Fire Data Compilation CD-ROM.
Description
The project to monitor the regional fire mosaic of the Northern Territory, Australia, was initiated for the arid lands of the southern Northern Territory in 1984, and the fire mosaic is updated annually. The project was extended to include the tropical savannas of the northern part of the Northern Territory (the Top End) in 1993.
For the Top End the aim was to develop a monitoring and reporting methodology more suited for the dynamic nature of the tropical savanna ecosystems. Initially the fire mosaic was updated monthly but the frequency has been increased to the 9 or 18 day cycle of the NOAA satellite. It provides a regional overview to meet the needs of the Northern Territory Bushfire Council as the regulatory body responsible for fire management.

The data set of the fire mosaic of the Northern Territory of Australia was generated from NOAA AVHRR data. The images represents the area burnt by fires during the period 1993 to 1996. The data is a cumulative summary for each calendar year, not the full data set with 9 to 18 day updates.
