Daily MODIS RGB imagery products are available as produced.

Selected handcrafted RGB imagery from MODIS data in response to special events/opportunities

View an interactive map incorporating active fire detection point data from MODIS with physical features and the University of Maryland's land cover product. You can display for fire detections in a given date range, and query a particular detection for more information (time, brightness temp, lat/lon).

These cumulative fire extent maps show actively burning area and previously burned area from the MODIS Rapid Response system.

These maps show the global distribution of fire detections produced by the MODIS Rapid Response System. These active fire detections are produced using the same algorithm as the standard MODIS MOD14 Fire and Thermal Anomalies Product. Each detection represents the center of a 1 km pixel flagged by the algorithm as containing a fire within that pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System is a collaboration between Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland to prototype rapid access to MODIS products.
