The purpose of this app is to help monitor fires/hotspot areas in near real-time (over the 24 hours). The app provides global coverage. Supplementary data include near real-time data on agricultural drought (drought index and agricultural stress index) and the latest data on world protected areas.
Current burning fires or fire scars may be observed by overlaying the NASA FIRMS fire data on the high resolution Sentinel imagery (10 m) which offer 5-day revisit period imagery.
The NASA FIRMS data offer 1 km (MODIS) and 375 m (VIIRS) spatial resolution.
