Validation of the MODIS active fire product over Southern Africa with ASTER data

This paper describes the use of high-spatial-resolution ASTER data to determine the accuracy of the moderate-resolution MODIS active fire product. Our main objective was to develop a methodology to use ASTER data for quantitative evaluation of the MODIS active fire product and to apply it to fires in southern Africa during the 2001 burning season. We utilize 18 ASTER scenes distributed througho...
