The daily Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership NASA Visible Infrared
Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Thermal Anomalies/Fire (VNP14A1) Version 1
data product provides daily information about active fires and other thermal
anomalies. The VNP14A1 data product is a global, 1km gridded composite of
fire pixels detected from VIIRS 750m bands over a daily (24-hour) period.
The VNP14 data products are designed after the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Thermal Anomalies/Fire product suite.
LP DAAC NASA data are freely accessible; however, when an author
publishes these data or works based on the data, it is requested that the
author cite the datasets within the text of the publication and include a
reference to them in the reference list.
