Extended Data Fig. 8: Trends in fire radiative power and active fire detections from 2003 to 2020.

a, b, Trends (2003–2020) in MODIS fire radiative power (MW per detection) for detections that occurred during the day and night, and areas with increases and decreases in flammable night-time hours from 1979–2020 (a) and active fire detections (per overpass per M km2) and percent of total detections that occurred at night, globally and by major Köppen–Geiger climate classification69 (Siegel-estimated slopes70 at monthly aggregations at 1°; b). Bold lines surrounded by dotted confidence intervals indicate significant trends. The underlying data are the observed values with the seasonal oscillation removed, and smoothed to aid visualization.
