Users intending to perform scientific analysis are advised to download the standard (science quality) data. NRT data and, as it becomes available (usually after 2 months), it is replaced with data extracted from the standard MODIS and VIIRS active fire products. Read more about VIIRS.ĭata older than 7 days can be obtained from the Archive Download Tool.
VIIRS data complement MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response over fires of relatively small areas. Download active fire products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS) ( MCD14DL) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite ( VIIRS) 375 m ( VNP14IMGTDL_NRT and VJ114IMGTDL_NRT) for the last 24, 48 hours and 7 days in shapefile, KML, WMS or text file formats.
