Pre-2000 images are based on Landsat imagery and attribution of each burnt pixel is either early or late. Images from 2000 onwards is based on NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and each burnt pixel is tagged with the month that covers the largest part of the date interval in which the burnt pixel was detected; these Images are clipped from geotiff images of fire affected areas in far northern Australia available from North Australian Fire Information (NAFI) website. The images have a resolution of 250 m (pixel size). These data cover Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks, but are part of a larger data set that extends across far northern WA down to 21 degrees S, across the entire NT (down to 26 degrees S) and all of Qld (down to 29 degrees S). The NAFI mapping covers the years 2000 to present and since 2012, the mapping also includes northern SA down to 29 degrees S. Mapping landscapes north of 20 degrees S in WA, NT and Qld has been validated by aerial and on-ground transects across northern Australia. Project funding: These data is collected as part of an ongoing program to map fire scars across northern Australian savannas and all of the NT. All fire scar mapping is available on the NAFI website and funded directly by the Federal Government and through Territory NRM. The site is hosted at Charles Darwin University. Hotspot data from Landgate W.A. and Geoscience Australia is used to present hotspots and to highlight fires in the process of mapping fire scars. Between 2012 and 2018 this project was part of, and funded through the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN) a facility within the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) and supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy. &rft.creator=Anonymous&rft.date=2019&rft.coverage=Kakadu National Park: the mapping is clipped to the boundary of Kakadu National Park, NT from fire scar mapping that extends across northern Australia, inclusive of all the Northern Territory.&rft.coverage=northlimit = -12.11059, southlimit = -13.94659, westlimit = 131.88766, eastLimit = 133.00257&rft.coverage=Litchfield National Park: the mapping is clipped to the boundary of Litchfield National Park, NT from fire scar mapping that extends across northern Australia, inclusive of all the Northern Territory.&rft.coverage=northlimit = -13.038, southlimit = -13.525891, westlimit = 130.684447, eastLimit = 131.1&rft.coverage=Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park: the mapping is clipped to the boundary of Nitmiluk National Park, NT from fire scar mapping that extends across northern Australia, inclusive of all the Northern Territory.&rft.coverage=northlimit = -13.81268, southlimit = -14.39819, westlimit = 132.16505, eastLimit = 132.74043&rft_rights=Creative Commons Licence (CC BY- Attribution) is assigned to this data.
