MODIS/Terra+Aqua Burned Area data provides monthly, global gridded maps of fire-affected land at a 500-meter spatial resolution. The product is generated by NASA's LPCLOUD using a combined algorithm from MODIS Surface Reflectance and active fire observations. It identifies the specific burn date for each pixel within a calendar year.
Users must consult the MODIS/VIIRS Land Quality Assessment website for a complete list of known issues affecting data quality. Special values in the Burn Date layer encode water bodies and missing data, requiring careful masking.
