Abstract
Geotiff image of
fire affected areas in northern Australia and
Western Australia
for the year 2013 based on NASA's Moderate
Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer. The image has a
resolution of
250m per pixel. Each burnt pixel is tagged with a
Fire Scar ID
(FSID) that corresponds to the date interval in which
the burning was
detected and is coloured to reflect the month
that covers the
largest part of the date interval. The FSID values,
the associated
mapping intervals and colours for that month are
listed in a .csv
file. The data extends across the WA rangelands
(down to 34.5
degrees S), across the entire NT and the northern
part of SA (down
to 29 degrees S) and all of Qld (down to 29
degrees S).
Mapping landscapes north of 20 degrees S has been
validated by aerial
and on-ground transects across northern
Australia.

Lineage Statement
Burnt area
mapping is based on analysis of imagery from the
Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA's Terra
satellite. At
least two images of different dates are compared to
detect fire
affected areas. Image analysing software, manual
inspection of the
image and other datasets such as hotspot data
are used to
produce the final product.
