Hello everyone,
I've download VIIRS S-NPP 2022 fire products from https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/download/create.php, and I find that there is no fire records from September to December. I'm not sure whether there is something wrong in my operation or there is exactly no satellite-observed fire events.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice to solve the issue.

Re: VIIRS fire data
Sorry this post slipped through the net - so apologies for the later reply! There are data for the period you are interested in so, please try again and if you still have problems email support@earthdata.nasa.gov with the email address you used for the query so we can check what is happening.
As an FYI - you can check what data are be available by going to the FIRMS maps (https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/ for FIRMS Global or https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/map/ for FIRMS US/Canada). To view up to 31 days of data use the "Advanced" mode (by clicking on the 3 green horizontal lines in the top right menu), click on 'week' and select 30/31 days from the drop down menu and then use the 'calendar' icon to set the dates you want e.g. for the whole of October 2022 select 31 October 2022.

Re: VIIRS fire data
Thank you very much for your reply.
I have already figured out what my problem is. VIIRS-SNPP global data products after September 2022 is stored in "fire_nrt_SV-C2 xxxxxx" file, not in the standard "fire_archive_SV-C2 xxxxxx" file, so I mistakenly thought there was no data from September to December in 2022 at that time.
And, thanks again for your reply!
