Fire 2011 (DR Congo)
Total number of fire occurrences, calculated using data from the MODIS satellite (products MOD14A2 and MYD14A2, "Thermal Anomalies and Fire", https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/modis_products_table/myd14a2 ).
In each pixel of the derived map (1-kilometer resolution), the total is based time-series based on 8-daily tiles, one for each MODIS product. Fire occurrence is recorded if it occurs at least in one of the two products. Each time-series step is based on 9 MODIS tiles:

The initial maps derived from MODIS products were concatenated, re-projected, and converted to uint8.
In addition, only the data within the DRC borders were retained.
