Abstract

- This is event-level polygons for the fire event delineation (FIRED) product for CONUS + AK from November 2000 to September 2024. It is derived from the MODIS MCD64A1 burned area product (see https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/mcd64a1v061/ for more details). The MCD64A1 is a monthly raster grid of estimated burned dates. Firedpy (https://github.com/earthlab/firedpy) is an algorithm that converts these rasters into events by stacking the entire time series into a spatial-temporal data cube, then uses an algorithm to assign event identification numbers to pixels that fit into the same 3-dimensional spatial temporal window. This particular dataset was created using a spatial parameter of 1 pixels and 5 days. See the associated paper for more details on the methods and more:
