Dataset description

This dataset series refers to the information on burnt area provided by the Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS). ▷_How to cite: see below_◁   Burnt area information is derived after the MODIS burnt area product which provides burning and quality information on a per-pixel basis. This dataset is not near real time, and fire events require more than one month be available (please see temporal granularity of the source product https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/dataset_discovery/modis/modis_products_table/mcd64a1_v006 ). Initial and final dates of the fires are subject to an uncertainty of few days.     __How to cite__ - When using these data, please cite the relevant data sources.
