Left:MODIS active fire detections resampled to 30mand colored using the same rainbowcolor scale as the 30mpotential burned area detections for the 50 × 50 kmsubset over the north-eastern part of the 2002 Biscuit Fire illustrated in Fig. 5 (top row).
Right: Results of the contextual analysis conducted on the candidate burned area objects shown in Fig. 6. Yellow: confident burned area objects; Orange: objects discarded because they overlap spatially, but not temporally,with active fire detections; Cyan: objects discarded because they are not temporally and spatially adjacent to confidently detected objects. The same 10 km grid of Fig. 3 is superimposed on the subset.
