Global GFED-based monthly burned area time series (1996-2016) at 1 km and ESA CCI MODIS-based long-term monthly P90 burned area occurrence at 500 m

Contains two separate datasets:

1. Global GFED-based monthly burned area (in ha) time series (1996-2016) at 1 km (downscaled using cubic-splines from 25 km);
2. Global burned area long term (2000-2012) P90 (quantile probability = 0.9) based on the ESA CCI burned area accumulated weekly product;

Original GFED monthly data is provided as HDF4 files (ftp.fuoco.geog.umd.edu/data/GFED/GFED4). Dataset is described in detail in Giglio et al. (2013). Processing steps are available here. Antarctica is not included.

All files provided as Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs / internally compressed using "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" creation option in GDAL. File naming convention:

• nhz = theme: natural hazards,
• monthly.burned.ha = variable: estimated monthly burned area in ha,
• gfed = data source GFED data,
• m = mean value,
• 1km = spatial resolution / block support: 1 km,
• s0..0cm = vertical reference: land surface,
• 2000.02 = time reference aggregated: month Feb of year 2000,
• v4 = version number: GFEDv4,
