MODIS Aqua Thermal Anomalies Fire Daily L3 Global 1km 2012-08

The MODIS Aqua MYD14A1 Version 6.1 product provides information on thermal anomalies and active fires at 1 km spatial resolution as a Level-3 dataset. The product is generated as an 8-day composite, where each file contains fire observations from eight consecutive days of MODIS Aqua data. The dataset includes several science data layers such as a fire mask identifying active fire pixels, pixel quality indicators, maximum Fire Radiative Power (MaxFRP), and the position of the fire pixel within the satellite scan. Each layer contains daily per-pixel information for each of the eight days within the compositing period.
