GOES-8 Wildfire ABBA Summary Composite of Filtered Half-Hourly Fire Observations for the Western Hemisphere Time Period: September 1, 2001 to August 31, 2002 Fire Pixel Category Processed The composite shows the much higher incidence of burning in Central and South America, primarily associated with deforestation and agricultural management. Saturated Cloudy High Possibility Medium Possibility The base map for this composite image is derived from the Global Land Cover Characteristics database provided by the USGS Fire Pixel Distribution North America (30 -70°N): 12% Central America (10 -30°N): 11% South America (70°S-10°N): 77%
