NASA/NOAA's Suomi NPP VIIRS Burned Area product provides monthly, global 500-meter gridded data on fire-affected land. The hybrid algorithm uses 750 m VIIRS imagery and active fire observations with a burn-sensitive Vegetation Index to detect changes and assign a burn date to the nearest day. This dataset is designed to continue the MODIS burned area record, providing layers for Burn Date, Burn Date Uncertainty, Quality Assurance, and detection period.
