Fire Radiative Power is used to measure intensity; it depicts the
pixel-integrated fire radiative power in MW (megawatts). FRP provides
information on the measured radiant heat output of detected fires. The
amount of radiant heat energy liberated per unit...
Thanks for your query.
You can obtain burned area data from MODIS (MCD65) (GeoTIFF, shape and
HDF files) from http://modis-fire.umd.edu/pages/BurnedArea.php
The algorithm doesn't pick up small / cool fires so that may only get
you so far.
You can try u...

The confidence value was added to help users gauge the quality of
individual fire pixels is included in the Level 2 fire product. They
are different for MODIS and VIIRS.
For MODIS the confidence value ranges between 0% and 100% and can

I was playing around with QGIS yesterday and today to see what might
be happening to prevent it from working. I have not yet discovered why
QGIS doesn't work with our server (ArcGIS does seem to work), but I do
have a work-around so that you can load the ...
