Metadata
The following metadata is useful for users when viewing burnt areas.
- ID — the unique burnt-area reference, used to match the feature with API data.
- Detection time — when the burnt area was detected, used to understand the age of the measurement.
- Location — the geographic position of the burnt area, used to place it on the map.
- Burn severity — the measured severity class, used to interpret vegetation change.
- Area — the size of the measured polygon, used to understand its extent.
- Confidence — the confidence assigned to the measurement, used to support assessment.
- Associated cluster IDs — the clusters linked to the burnt area, used to connect it to detected fire activity. See Search by cluster context.
