The Global FIRE Product, 1992-1993, from JRC
Entry ID:
SAI_JRC-Global_FIRE
Summary
Abstract:
Fire is a process, which given the right vegetation and meteorological
conditions, can be found in almost any part of the globe. In order to understand and quantify the impact of fire on ecosystems and atmosphere, there is a need to provide and analyse data on the spatial and temporal distributions of fire at a global scale. The fire products described here are ...  Geographic Coverage

Quality
Fires may be erronously flagged in certain situations where there is a
step change in the thermal signal as recorded in channel 3 of AVHRR. The environments in which this may be a problem are: along coastlines, inland water ways, desert boundaries, mountain-plain interfaces. The locational accuracy is +/- 5 km at nadir and deteriorates at ...
Access Constraints
End-users external to GVM can have access to the data and make use of
it in their own field of research and/or application only if they fullfill the use- constraints listed below.
Use Constraints
When the data set is derived from results already published in
conferences or journals, the external user must agree with MTV on the correct form of reference. If it is derived from results not yet published, the external user and MTV should agree on a co-author work. Special agreement from IGBP-DIS is required. Ancillary Keywords
