VIIRS/JPSS1 Thermal Anomalies and Fire Daily L3 Global 1km SIN Grid V002

The daily NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Thermal Anomalies and Fire (VJ114A1) Version 2 data product provides daily information about active fires and other thermal anomalies. The VJ114A1 data product is a global, 1 kilometer (km) gridded composite of fire pixels detected from VIIRS 750 meter (m) bands over a daily (24-hour) period. The VJ114 data products are designed after the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Thermal Anomalies/Fire product suite. The VJ114A1 product provides a total of four Science Dataset (SDS) layers for the confidence of fire, maximum fire radiative power (FRP), quality assessment (QA), and position of fire within scan. Each data product file is provided in HDF-EOS5 format. A low resolution browse is also provided showing the fire mask layer with a color map applied in JPEG format. Known Issues

For complete information about known issues please refer to the MODIS/VIIRS Land Quality Assessment website and in Section 5.0 “Frequently Asked Questions” of the User Guide.
