The Regional Mainland Southeast Asian FIRE Product, 1992-1993, from JRC
Entry ID:
SAI_JRC_Asian_FIRE_Product
Summary
Abstract:
Comparatively little is known empirically about the vegetation fire
regime of Southeast Asia when viewed at larger scales. This is despite the importance of fire as an agent of regional land cover change and in modifying atmospheric chemistry. Fire is widely used in rice cultivation in Asia where 94% of the world's crop is grown [Nguyen et al., 1994]. It also has a ...  Geographic Coverage

Quality
The user is advised that this data set has not been validated with
higher resolution data or by field survey. In general, the utility of the fire detection algorithms is determined by the characteristics of the training-set used to define their thresholds. It is considered that the active fire estimates provided here are conservative since a ...
