Fig. 1: Global map of regions in which the FireCCILT11 product exhibits major satellite orbit-drift artifacts (“orbit drift”) and/or very poor agreement with the FireCCI51 reference burned area (BA) data set used for training and calibration (“CCI51 discrepancy”).

The specific criteria used to identify these locations was as follows. Orbit drift: Spearman rank-order correlation between 1982–2000 FireCCILT11 total annual BA and mid-year AVHRR solar zenith angle ≥0.5 and statistically significant (details in ref. 4). CCI51 discrepancy: Pearson correlation between 2001–2018 FireCCILT11and FireCCI51 annual BA time series <0.5 and statistically significant (details in ref. 5).
