Abstract Geotiff image of fire
affected areas in far northern Australia for the year 2016 based on MODIS and
MSI satellite sensors. The image has a resolution of 250m per pixel and each
burnt pixel is tagged with the month that covers the largest part of the date
interval in which the burnt pixel was detected. The data extends across the WA
rangelands (down to 34.5 degrees S), across the entire NTand
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 and the Multispectral instrument on ESA's Sentinel-2 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.
