MOD14A2_006

MODIS/Terra Thermal Anomalies/Fire 8-Day L3 Global 1km SIN Grid V006

Version 006
  • Abstract
    The MOD14A2 version 6 product is an 8 day composite product that contains the maximum value of the individual Level 2 pixel classes that are located in each 1 kilometer grid cell over the 8-day compositing period. The MOD14A2 file in HDF format consists of 2 Science Dataset (SDS) layers, a Fire Mask, and associated quality information. Improvements/Changes from Previous Versions • Refinements to internal cloud mask, which sometimes flags heavy smoke as clouds • Fix for frequent false alarms in the Amazon that are caused by small (~1 km2) clearings within forests • Fix to correct a bug that causes incorrect assessment of cloud and water pixels adjacent to fire pixels near the scan edge • Detect small fires using dynamic thresholding • Process ocean and coastline pixels to detect fire from oil rigs • The Version 6 Fire Mask has the potential to detect fire over water pixels. Therefore, class 3 pixel values have been changed to be classified as “non-fire water pixels.”
