"description": "Throughout history, humans have used fire as an environmental management tool. Vegetation characteristics, mainly biomass loads and moisture, determine fire behaviour, but fire also modifies vegetation structure and evolution. Climate affects fire occurrence through the thermal and precipitation cycles, but it is also affected by fire, particularly by gaseous and PM emissions. This mutual influences among vegetation, climate and fire highlight the importance of having global long-term burned area (BA) information that serves as input for climate and vegetation modellers.\n\nCurrently, FireCCI51 BA product includes 19 years of global BA data. The product is offered at 250m resolution with date of detection, and at 0.25 degree cells with total BA and land cover. In both cases, uncertainty layers are also incorporated.\n\n**Variable Shown:** Total Burned Area in Square Meters \n**Time Span:** 2001-01 – 2019-12 \n**Temporal resolution:** monthly \n**Geographic Extent:** global \n**Spatial Resolution:** 0.25 x 0.25 degree\n**Version:** 5.1\n\n[ESA CCI Fire ECV Project website](http://www.esa-fire-cci.org/) \n[Data in the Open Data Portal](https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/3628cb2fdba443588155e15dee8e5352)",

"description": "Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) quantifies the total aerosol extinction integrated over the entire vertical column of the atmosphere. Maps of AOD show the dominant global aerosol sources (e.g. Sahara desert, tropical biomass burning, Industrial emissions over for example China, the Po valley, North-Western Europe) as well as the large spatial and temporal variations due to the short particle lifetime in the atmosphere of a few days to a week.\n\nIn CCI a global record of AOD covering 1995 to 2012 has been processed together with further data records which contain additional aerosol parameters (e.g. Fine Mode AOD of small particles, Mineral Dust AOD, aerosol absorption, aerosol layer height).

"description": "Biomass is the weight of living material in vegetation, which for forests is mainly contained in the\nwoody parts of the trees. Only above-ground biomass (AGB) can be measured from space (and in\npractice also for most on-ground measurements). Quantitative information on forest AGB is crucial\nfor understanding climate change, since loss of AGB caused by deforestation and forest degradation\nis second only to fossil fuel burning as a source of greenhouse gases, while CO₂ taken from the\natmosphere by forest growth and stored in woody biomass helps to slow climate warming.\n\nThe map shows estimated forest AGB in 2017 derived mainly from the combination of the ALOS\nPALSAR-2 L-band radar and the Sentinel-1 C-band radars, with support from a range of other sensors\nand environmental datasets.\n\n**Variable Shown:** Above-ground biomass in Mg/ha \n**Time Span:** 2017 \n**Temporal resolution:** yearly \n**Geographic Extent:** global \n**Spatial Resolution:** 100m \n**Version:** 1 \n**DOI:** [doi:10.5285/bedc59f37c9545c981a839eb552e4084](http://dx.doi.org/10.5285/bedc59f37c9545c981a839eb552e4084)\n\n[ESA CCI Biomass ECV Project website](http://cci.esa.int/biomass) \n[Data in the Open Data Portal](https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/bedc59f37c9545c981a839eb552e4084)",
