Short summary
Satellites can observe fires globally, but sensitivity of instruments in space is limited: they miss small fires and cannot see through clouds. We analyzed fire observations of two instruments and obtained their sensitivity to small fires, which depends on the resolution of the instrument, timing of the observation (day or night), and details of the data processing. We developed a procedure for comparing fire model predictions with satellite observations accounting for their limited sensitivity.
