ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci): Small Fire Dataset (SFD) Burned Area pixel product for Sub-Saharan Africa, version 2.0
Abstract
The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (Fire_cci) project has produced maps of global burned area developed from satellite observations. The Small Fire Dataset (SFD) pixel products have been obtained by combining spectral information from Sentinel-2 MSI data and thermal information from VIIRS VNP14IMGML active fire products.
This dataset is part of v2.0 of the Small Fire Dataset (also known as FireCCISFD11), which covers Sub-Saharan Africa for the year 2019. Data is available here at pixel resolution (0.00017966259 degrees, corresponding to approximately 20m at the Equator). Gridded data products are also available in a separate dataset.

| File Format: |
The pixel product is composed of 4 files:
*JD.tif: Day of first detection (Julian Day) of the burned area;
*CL.tif: Confidence level of burned area detection;
*LC.tif: Land cover of the pixel detected as burned as defined by the C3S Land Cover map of 2018 (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/satellite-land-cover).
*.xml: Metadata of the product.
In the Compressed folder these have been compressed into a single .tar.gz file.
