Field notes
The map is described as a month-by-month view of Indonesia, with separate MODIS and VIIRS detections and harmonized province counts. Its baseline scales pre-2012 MODIS counts using each province’s VIIRS/MODIS ratio for the same calendar month; the page reports held-out errors and explicitly distinguishes this from its research model. Forest-alert and pulpwood layers are identified as placeholders.
