Assessment of satellite orbit-drift artifacts in the long-term AVHRR FireCCILT11 global burned area data set
The recent 1982–2018 FireCCILT11 burned area (BA) product derived from NOAA AVHRR data is examined with regard to its suitability for long-term BA analyses. We focus on identifying NOAA AVHRR satellite orbit-drift artifacts within the FireCCILT11 BA time series since the occurrence of such artifacts...
