Fig. 7: Comparison of fire perimeter final sizes from the FEDS with FRAP burned area.

From: California wildfire spread derived using VIIRS satellite observations and an object-based tracking system

Fig. 7

Each dot represents a large fire (final size > 4 km2) occurring in California during 2018. Purple areas in inset figures show regions of agreement for the two example wildfires. FEDS fire perimeter generally agrees well with FRAP, but sometimes underestimates the burned area for fast moving grassland fires, such as the Waverly Fire.
