ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci): Sentinel-3 SYN Burned Area Grid product, version 1.1 2020

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 v1.1 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 FireCCIS311 for short, is available for the years 2019 to 2022.This gridded dataset has been derived from the FireCCIS311 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.
