MODIS/Aqua Terra Thermal Anomalies/Fire locations 1km FIRMS NRT (Vector data)

The MODIS/Aqua Terra Thermal Anomalies/Fire locations 1km FIRMS Near Real-Time (NRT) - Collection 61 processed by NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS), using swath products (MOD14/MYD14) rather than the tiled MOD14A1 and MYD14A1 products. The thermal anomalies / active fire represent the center of a 1km pixel that is flagged by the MODIS MOD14/MYD14 Fire and Thermal Anomalies algorithm (Giglio 2003) as containing one or more fires within the pixel. This is the most basic fire product in which active fires and other thermal anomalies, such as volcanoes, are identified.

MCD14DL are available in the following formats: TXT, SHP, KML, WMS. These data are also provided through the LANCE FIRMS Fire Email Alerts. Please note only the TXT and SHP files contain all the attributes.

Collection 61 data replaced Collection 6 (DOI:10.5067/FIRMS/MODIS/MCD14DL.NRT.006) in April 2021. The C61 processing does not contain any updates to the science algorithm; changes were made to improve the calibration approach in the generation of the Terra and Aqua MODIS Level 1B products.
