About this source

NASA VIIRS Thermal Hotspots & Fire Activity — satellite flaring / thermal-detection proxy at well-site resolution. No auth. HOTSPOTS: searchThermalHotspots (bbox + FRP/confidence/recency), getHotspotsNearWell (point + radius). RULES: 1. frp = fire radiative power (MW); hours_old = recency; confidence = low/nominal/high; daynight = D/N. 2. Rolling near-real-time window; dates returned as ISO. A flaring/thermal-activity proxy, not quantified emissions (see carbonmapper for that).
