What are the attributes in the hotspot/active fire data?
Latitude and Longitude: The center point location of the 1km (approx.) pixel flagged as containing one or more fires/hotspots (fire size is not 1km, but variable). See What does a hotspot/fire detection mean on the ground? Brightness: The brightness temperature, measured (in Kelvin) using the MODIS channels 21/22 and channel 31. Scan and Track: The actual spatial resolution of the scanned pixel. Although the algorithm works at 1km resolution, the MODIS pixels get bigger toward the edge of the scan. See What does scan and track mean? Date: Acquisition date of the hotspot/active fire pixel. Time: Time of the overpass of the satellite (in UTC). Satellite: Whether the detection was picked up by the Terra or Aqua satellite. Confidence: The detection confidence is a quality flag of the individual hotspot/active fire pixel. Version: Version refers to the processing collection and source of data. The number before the decimal refers to the collection (e.g. MODIS Collection 5). The number after
