  32. Product Data Structure For each 500m pixel: • “Burndate” the approximate day of burning • “BA pixel QA” confidence of the detection (high, moderate, low). • “Number Passed” number of observations in the time series after/before “Burndate” that were labeled as burned. • “Number Used” number of observations in the time series after/before “Burndate” that were available for consideration (“Number Used” ≥ “Number Passed”). • “Direction” direction in which burning was detected (forward in time, backward, or both). • “Surface Type” information describing the static land cover type, worst sensing acquisition and aerosol state conditions over the input time series. • “Gap Range” information describing the largest and the second largest number of missing/cloudy days (if any) in the time series + Tile level ECS, MODLAND and product specific metadata MCD45A1 Data Structure MCD45 Global Burned Area Product

  43. Validation Plan • Currently CEOS stage 1 validation • “the product accuracy has been estimated using a small number of independent measurements obtained from selected locations and time periods and ground-truth/field program efforts” • Stage 2 by the end of Collection 5 • “the product accuracy has been assessed over a widely distributed set of locations and time periods via several groundtruth and validation efforts” • Stage 3 in Collection 6 • “product accuracy has been assessed and the uncertainties in the product well established via independent measurements in a systematic and statistically robust way” Validation MCD45 Global Burned Area Product

  44. Southern Africa • STAGE 1 Validation • 40 ETM+ acquisitions • 20 ETM+ scenes • 500,000 km2 • MODIS Burned area • = 0.85 “true” burned area Validation MCD45 Global Burned Area Product

  45. Burned Area Collection 5 Recommendations • This is a new product - there is no Collection 4 product • Product user manual and ATBD are posted on the MODIS Fire website http://modis-fire.umd.edu • Collection 5 production of MCDA1 has started • reprocessing of November 2000+ • forward production of February 2007+ • Note, changes to the Collection 5 algorithm are likely • Change descriptions will be posted on the MODIS Fire website • Product version reflected in the product PGEVersion metadata • Product quality issues posted on the LDOPE QA Web Site Recommendations MCD45 Global Burned Area Product

  47. Npass Nused Scheme of the detection Contextual iterative procedure: Burn candidates are selected if they provide persistent evidence of fire occurrence. The measured persistence varies depending on gaps in the reflectance time series and the timing of the fire relative to non-missing data, an iterative rather than simple thresholding approach is used Algorithm Background MCD45 Global Burned Area Product
