fraction_of_burnable_area#

Field Value
units 1

fraction_of_observed_area#

Field Value
units 1
long_name fraction of observed area
comment The fraction of the total burnable area in the cell (fraction_of_burnable_area variable of this file) that was observed during the time interval, and was not marked as unsuitable/not observable. The latter refers to the area where it was not possible to obtain observational burned area information for the whole time interval because of the lack of input data (non-existing data for that location and period).

abstract 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.
