Quick Fire Emission Dataset (QFED): Difference between revisions

Line 73:

There are two Level 3 (Global Gridded) QFED products:

# The daily fire radiative power (FRP) derived from MODIS Thermal Anomalies/Fire products (MOD14, MYD14). The name of the product is QFED Level 3a.

# ~~Level 3b is the daily fire CO emissions for each QFED vegetation class.~~ The Level 3b product is derived from the Level 3a product. ~~The name of this product is~~ QFED ~~Level 3b~~.

# The Level 3b product is derived from the Level 3a product. It contains the daily QFED fire emissions (BC, OC, CO, CO2, SO2).

The QFED Level 3a product can be generated after obtaining the necessary MOD14 and/or MYD14 granules using the '''qfed_l3a.py''' script. Similarly, Level 3b can be generated using the '''qfed_l3b.py''' script. Typical usage of the scripts will require one to provide the year and start and end day of the year. For full list of options run the scripts with the '--help' option, e.g.

% qfed_l3a.py --help
