ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci): Small Fire Database (SFD) Burned Area grid product for Sub-Saharan Africa, version 2.0

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 VIIRS VNP14IMGML active fire products. This gridded dataset has been derived from the Small Fire Database (SFD) Burned Area pixel product for Sub-Saharan Africa, v2.0 (also available), which covers Sub-Saharan Africa for the year 2019, by summarising its burned area information into a regular grid covering the Earth at 0.05 x 0.05 degrees resolution and at monthly temporal resolution.
