Burnt Area NRT Incremental Product - MODIS - Europe, Daily

The product is automatically derived from Aqua/Terra (MODIS) satellite imagery in near-real time. It is an incremental product, meaning that the retrieved results are updated as soon as new input data becomes available over a timespan of ten days. Besides the fire perimeter and detection time, each feature contains information about the severity of the burning.

Statement

The product is based on mid resolution, optical data from the Aqua/Terra MODIS sensor level 1 NRT product. It utilizes information from the red and near-infrared domain, in combination with thermal anomaly data from the MODIS and VIIRS sensors

Description

Burnt Area Daily NRT Processing:

Processing:

The burnt area segmentation method is based on the morphological snakes algorithm in combination with a region growing approach. A differential NDVI mosaic is used as the basis for the segmentation.

The methodology is described here: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/12/13/2162/html .

An application of the methodology is found here: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/13/24/4975/html


Quality Assurance:

The product has been thoroughly tested against reference datasets provided by NASA, ESA and the Joint Research Center of the European Union

(JRC). The results of the inter-comparison can be found in the following publication:
