The VIIRS I-Band 375 m Active Fire dataset offers high-resolution global fire detection using thermal anomaly data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board NASA/NOAA's Suomi NPP and NOAA-20 satellites.
With a spatial resolution of 375 meters and multiple daily overpasses, this dataset provides near real-time fire detection, enabling rapid response to wildfires and other thermal events.
Each fire detection includes attributes such as brightness temperature, confidence level, fire radiative power (FRP), and the timestamp of observation. These are crucial for modeling fire behavior, estimating emissions, and integrating into alerting or dispatch systems.
