How do I know if a fire detection was missed due to cloud or missing data?
An indication of cloud cover or missing data can be obtained by viewing the co-incident MODIS or VIIRS imagery in FIRMS Fire Map or Worldview. To take cloud and missing data in to account, it may be more appropriate to use one of the 1 km Level 3 or Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) fire products (see the discussion in the MODIS Fire User Guide).
