Abstract
Shapefile of fire
affected areas in northern Australia and Western
Australia for the
year 2015 based on NASA's Moderate Resolution
Imaging
Spectroradiometer. The data are vector ploygons derived
from an image
with a resolution of 250m per pixel and each
polygon is tagged
with a firescar identifier (FSID) corresponding
to the mapping
interval in which the burnt area within the polygon
was detected (as
described in the .csv file) and the month that
covers the
largest part of the mapping interval. The data extends
across the WA
rangelands (down to 34.5 degrees S), the entire
NTand northern SA
(down to 29 degrees S) and across 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.
