Global Actives Fires and Hotspots Dashboard
Dashboard that displays locations and stats of global thermal hotspot data from Living Atlas of the World.
This Operations Dashboard presents detectable thermal activity from the MODIS sensor on-board NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites for the last 48 hours. MODIS Global Fires is a product of NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS), part of NASA's Earth Science Data. EOSDIS integrates remote sensing and GIS technologies to deliver global MODIS hotspot/fire locations to natural resource managers and other stakeholders around the World. The Satellite (Thermal) Hotspots and Fire Activity layer can be access from the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.Many of the fire stats represented here include the Fire Radiative Power intensity attribute, which is a measure of the total energy output of a fire in megawatts. This metric is important for applications of biomass burning, as fires in areas with greater biomass are associated with higher FRP.
Each of the elements in the Dashboard help to filter, select, and zoom into the thousands of features on the map.
The basemap was customized using the ArcGIS Vector Tile Style Editor app.
