The ESA Fire Climate Change Initiative (CCI) dataset consists of maps of global burned areas for years 2005 to 2011, developed from satellite observations. The products are distributed as 6 continental tiles and are based upon spectral information from the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), on board the ESA ENVISAT satellite and thermal information from the MODIS active fires product. The Pixel product includes maps at 0.00277778-degree (approx. 300m) resolution. Burned area (BA) information is included in 3 layers: date of BA detection, the confidence level (a probability value estimating the confidence that a pixel is actually burned), and the land cover information as defined in the Land Cover CCI v1.6.1 product. Files are in GeoTIFF format using a geographic coordinate system based on the World Geodetic System (WGS84) reference ellipsoid and using Plate Carrée projection with geographical coordinates of equal pixel size. For further information on the product and its format see the Fire_cci Product User Guide in the linked documentation.

The ESA Fire Disturbance Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced maps of global burned area derived from satellite observations. The AVHRR - LTDR Pixel v1.1 product described here contains gridded data of global burned area derived from spectral information from the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) Land Long Term Data Record (LTDR) v5 dataset produced by NASA. The dataset provides monthly information on global burned area at 0.05-degree spatial resolution (the resolution of the AVHRR-LTDR input data) from 1982 to 2018. The year 1994 is omitted as there was not enough input data for this year. The dataset is distributed in monthly GeoTIFF files, packed in annual tar.gz files, and it includes 5 files: date of BA detection (labelled JD), confidence label (CL), burned area in each pixel (BA), number of observations in the month (OB) and a metadata file.
