* The results from the WFABBA are typically available within 90 minutes of the satellite scan time. Although CIMSS is a research facility, efforts are made to post data in a timely manner. WF_ABBA is also an operational product at NOAA/NESDIS.
* MODIS - FIRMS fire masks represent MODIS-Aqua and MODIS-Terra fire coverage for the given hour, data latency may exceed 90 minutes. These fires were not detected with the WFABBA technique, but rather the MODIS-FIRMS technique. More information is available here and here
* Users requiring advanced access to real-time or archive application can send data requests to Chris Schmidt
