Fire Products over Nicaragua
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Fire Product: Fire Products over Nicaragua was part of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Data and Information System (IGBP-DIS) Regional Satellite Fire Data Compilation CD-ROM.
Description
The products presented contain active fire locations retrieved from AVHRR NOAA-14 satellite images captured in Managua, Nicaragua, using a Local Application for Remote Sensing Techniques (LARST) antenna receiver and processing system.
The images were captured and processed at the Direccion General Forestal of the Ministerio del Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (MARENA) in collaboration with the Natural Resources Institute (UK) within the framework of a project funded by the UK Overseas Development Administration. The data products comprise active fires (hot pixels) as observed by AVHRR NOAA-14 over Nicaragua, and parts of its neighbour countries, during the dry season January-May 1996.

The data set is a simple ASCII file consisting in a list of locations and associated dates and times of active fires (hot pixels). Each record corresponds to a detected fire pixel, giving the latitude, the longitude, the date and time of the fire. Maps in GIF format show the distribution of active fires (hot pixels) on a monthly basis.
