ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci): Small Fire Database (SFD) Burned Area grid product for Sub-Saharan Africa, version 1.1

The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci) project has produced maps of global burned area developed from satellite observations. The Small Fire Database (SFD) pixel products have been obtained by combining spectral information from Sentinel-2 MSI data and thermal information from MODIS MOD14MD Collection 6 active fire products. This gridded dataset has been derived from the Small Fire Database (SFD) Burned Area pixel product for Sub-Saharan Africa, v1.1 (also available), which covers Sub-Saharan Africa for the year 2016, by summarising its burned area information into a regular grid covering the Earth at 0.25 x 0.25 degrees resolution and at monthly temporal resolution.

欧洲空间局（European Space Agency, ESA）火灾扰动气候变化倡议（Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative，简称Fire_cci）项目已生成基于卫星观测构建的全球过火面积制图产品。小火数据库（Small Fire Database, SFD）像元产品通过融合哨兵2号多光谱仪器（Sentinel-2 MSI）数据的光谱信息与MODIS MOD14MD第6版（Collection 6）主动火产品的热信息制备得到。本网格化数据集源自适用于2016年撒哈拉以南非洲的小火数据库过火面积像元产品v1.1（该版本产品亦可单独获取），通过将其过火面积信息汇总至全球0.25°×0.25°空间分辨率、月度时间分辨率的规则格网中完成构建。
