Abstract

- This is event-level polygons for the fire event delineation (FIRED) product for ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA from November 2000 to January 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:
