Comment:
We investigated fire events using the 8-day MOD14A2 MODIS product, at a 1km pixel resolution. (See also "Source data set" link). It was downloaded from http://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MOLT/MOD14.005/ for the Years 2000 to 2011.
All 8-day fire mask composites were combined to produce a single map for each of the time periods from 2000 to 2002, 2003 to 2005, 2006 to 2008 and 2009 to 2011.
The FireMap_2000_2011.zip file includes fire maps of individual years, several years and a map of all occurred Fires in the study area during the time period 2001 to 2011 (FireMap_2000-2011.asc) as ascii-files for the study area (WGS84, WGS84, upper left corner: lat 65, long 117.55, lower right corner: lat 61.05, long 131.05.
The ascii-files FireMap_20xx-20xx.asc include all fires from the time interval and with the added coordinates for the global coordinate system WGS1984.
The occurrence of the fire is coded as follows: 1999 + the integer divided by 15 gives the year while the rest (from the integer division) attributes to the months May to October (0-1 May, 2-3 June, 4-5 July, 6-7 August, 8-9 September, 10-11 October). Example: Fires in August 2002 would be coded as 51 or 52=> 52 div 15 leads 3 or the year 2002 and the rest 7 would be August.
