  description: The Terra and Aqua combined MCD64A1 Version 6.1 Burned Area data product
    is a monthly, global gridded 500 meter (m) product containing per-pixel burned-area
    and quality information. The MCD64A1 burned-area mapping approach employs 500
    m Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Surface Reflectance imagery
    coupled with 1 kilometer (km) MODIS active fire observations. The algorithm uses
    a burn sensitive Vegetation Index (VI) to create dynamic thresholds that are applied
    to the composite data. The VI is derived from MODIS shortwave infrared atmospherically
    corrected surface reflectance bands 5 and 7 with a measure of temporal texture.
    The algorithm identifies the date of burn for the 500 m grid cells within each
    individual MODIS tile. The date is encoded in a single data layer as the ordinal
    day of the calendar year on which the burn occurred with values assigned to unburned
    land pixels and additional special values reserved for missing data and water
    grid cells. The data layers provided in the MCD64A1 product include Burn Date,
    Burn Data Uncertainty, Quality Assurance, along with First Day and Last Day of
    reliable change detection of the year.
