Qualitative comparison between theMTBS burned area polygons and the 30m Landsat burned area detections of the present study. The MTBS polygons that contain at least one
Landsat detection are represented in green, the MTBS polygons that don't contain any Landsat detections are represented in red, and the Landsat detections that fall outside the MTBS
polygons are represented in blue. The study area is shown in light gray, and the boundaries of the US states are plotted in black to provide geographic context.
