The Global Fire Emissions Indicators, Grids: 1997-2015 contain a time-series of rasters from 1997 to 2015 for total area burned (hectares) and total carbon content (tons). The data are produced by combining 500m MODIS (Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) burn area maps with active fire data from ATSR (Along-Track Scanning Radiometer) and TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) VIRS (Visible and Infrared Scanner). The annual total carbon content is for all fire types (Agricultural, Boreal, Tropical Deforestation, Peat, Savanna, and Temperate forests) and represents the total carbon emissions (tons) in each 0.25 degree x 0.25 degree grid cell.
The Global Summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) Grids, 2013, part of the Satellite-Derived Environmental Indicators collection, estimate daytime (1:30 p.m.) maximum temperature and nighttime (1:30 a.m.) minimum temperature in degrees Celsius at a spatial resolution of ~1km during summer months of the northern and southern hemispheres for the year 2013. The LST grids are produced using the Aqua Level-3 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Version 5 global daytime and nighttime LST 8-day composite data product (MYD11A2).
