Nasa satellite fire detection. Never before have scientists had the. Download active fire products from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer and visible infrared imaging radiometer suite 375 m vnp14imgtdl nrt and vj114imgtdl nrt for the last 24 48 hours and 7 days in shapefile kml wms or text file formats viirs data complement modis fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response over fires. Noaa s geostationary operational environmental satellite goes provides 5min observations over the conterminous u s. Using daily global fire detection provided by the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer modis on nasa s terra satellite scientists at goddard space flight center and the university of maryland have been mapping fire activity for the entire surface of the earth every day since february 2000.
Conus imaging sector and 10min observations over the entire western hemisphere full disk imaging sector with two satellites positioned at 75 2 o w goes 16 launched on november 2016 and 137 2 o w goes 17 launched on march 2018. Fire data is available for download or can be viewed through a map interface. This means that the viirs and modis fire products complement each other and both the viirs 375 m product and the modis fire product show good agreement in hotspot detection. Satellite fire detection data displayed on these maps are provided by the usda forest service geospatial technology and applications center nasa goddard space flight center direct readout laboratory nasa modis rapid repsonse system noaa nesdis satellite analysis branch univeristy of wisconsin space science and engineering center and the.
Viirs however provides better response for smaller fires and provides improved mapping of large fire perimeters. Nasa lance fire information for resource management system provides near real time active fire data from modis and viirs to meet the needs of firefighters scientists and users interested in monitoring fires. Fire data is available for download or can be viewed through a map interface.
