Status for: Thermal Anomalies/Fire (MOD14)

 
General Accuracy Statement
 
Stage 2 validation of the Level 2 Terra MODIS fire product is nearing completion through analysis of a large number of ASTER scenes over selected time periods and regions, including southern Africa, Brazil, Siberia, and the United States. Together with a simulation-based analysis, these results indicate that in many biomes the minimum flaming (> ~800 K) fire size detectable with MODIS, at 50% probability, is on the order of 100 m².

Product status updated:  September 2008
Product version:  Collection 5
