Our new manuscript was just published: #Geostationary#activefire products validation: GOES-17 ABI, GOES-16 ABI, and Himawari AHI: International Journal of Remote Sensing doi.org/10.1080/01431161.202…
We urge caution when undertaking GOES-16 time series analysis (see Figure) #Landsat
ALT GOES-16 FDC algorithm changes resulted in two abrupt discontinuities in the FDC active fire product: 8 April 2019 and 25 July 2019. There were no noticeable discontinuities in the FDC classes after July 2019.
