MODIS/Terra Thermal Anomalies/Fire 5-Min L2 Swath 1km V006

Published by LP DAAC;NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/TISL/MODAPS | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: June 25, 2026 at 01:38 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 23, 2026
The MOD14 Version 6 data product was decommissioned on July 31, 2023. Users are encouraged to use the [MOD14 Version 6.1](https://doi.org/10.5067/MODIS/MOD14.061) data product. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Thermal Anomalies and Fire MOD14 Version 6 product is produced daily in 5-minute temporal satellite increments (swaths). The MOD14 product is used to generate all of the higher level fire products, but can also be used to identify fires and other thermal anomalies, such as volcanoes. Each swath of data is approximately 2,030 kilometers along track (long), and 2,300 kilometers across track (wide). Known Issues * Known issues are described on the [MODIS Land Quality Assessment website](https://landweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/knownissue?sensor=MODIS&sat=Terra&as=6) and in Section 7.2 of the User Guide which covers Pre-November 2000 Data Quality, Detection Confidence, Flagging of Static Sources, and the August 2020 MODIS Aqua Outage
