2. ABSTRACT OF THE DATA
 
The GIS data and corresponding attribute data described here pertain to discrete fire events, their severity, and their ignitions, as derived on the basis of daily MODIS Collection 6 MCD14ML active-fire detections (AFDs).  Data on fire events and their ignitions are provided separately, as two data files.  These data files on fire events and ignitions may however be linked to each other by the data user.  Fire-event severity is quantified per fire event and reported in the data file for fire events.
 
A fire event is a cluster of MODIS Collection 6 MCD14ML active-fire detections (AFDs) wherein each AFD has a spatial (<=1-km...
