Advances in burned area detection from remote sensing: The FireCCI products

The FireCCI project has developed, during the last decade, a suite of burned area products based on remote sensing tailored to the climate researchers and also useful for different fire applications. The different products span from 1982 to 2020, and include global products at 250 m, 300 m, and 0.05-degrees spatial resolution, with derived grid products at 0.25-degree resolution. An additional burned area product at 20 m spatial resolution is available for Sub-Saharan Africa for 2016 and 2019. All products include ancillary information related to the uncertainty of the detection, the observational limitations, and the land cover burned. This presentation describes the characteristics of these products, called FireeCCILT11, FireCCI51, FireCCIS310 and FireCCISFD, and summarizes their similarities and differences, as well as their intended applications.
