What's in the monthly file?

One row per year and month: area, year, month, count, sensor_era, harmonized, low, high, baseline_median, percentile, category.

Hotspots are satellite detections, not confirmed fires. They include agricultural burns and will not match official fire counts.

One consistent record. MODIS (2001–2011) is adjusted to the VIIRS scale so years can be compared; those years carry an estimate range.

"Normal" means the middle third of the same month in 2001–2025, for the same days when the month is still in progress.
