<div dir="ltr">Thanks Markus,<div><br></div><div>I also came across this and another resource, so part of my needs are met.</div><div><br></div><div>however, i notice that these data are derived products, where a pixel is designated as having a fire based on the temperature anomaly. thi is the main reason if anyone is following on the firemaps available on google maps that we are getting huge polygons - basically the boundaries created around any pixel with a large-ish anomaly.</div><div><br></div><div>is there a quick automation workflow possible where False Color Composites of near-realtime imagery using the thermal band can be created, which can be updated once a day at the click of a button; and then overlay the FIRES derived datasets on top? This would allow one to visualize the earth surface while also overlaying the derived product.</div><div><br></div><div>i'm imagining a workflow which automates the finding of imagery as well, because that part of the workflow (going to the DAAC and finding the sensors , path, row etc etc) seem as tedious as it ever was..</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Vishal</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 20, 2020 at 1:23 PM Markus Neteler <<a href="mailto:neteler@osgeo.org">neteler@osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi Vishal,<br>

Yes, you can get NRT data from here:<br>
<a href="https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/active_fire/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/active_fire/</a><br>
- Shapefiles<br>
- Google Earth KML<br>
- Text Files (CSV)<br>
<br>
This you may import (v.import) and visualize/analyse.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
