Help with processing MODIS Burned Area product

[francobarrionuevoenv21]

Hi, Community! I'm very excited about this great tool,

I'm trying to process MODIS burned area product. I'm loading the product, as it's explained in the tutorial, and I'm getting the following output

I have two questions about this:

1. The spatial resolution of this product is 500 m, so how is possible that I get a difference between points of 0.5°?
2. I noticed that the lon is upper than lat axis. I don't have much experience working with xarray, but as could compare with other datasets I've worked, it's in the opposite order: first lat and then lon coordinate. Is it possible that the following outputs is the result of this issue?

Thank you so much!!

I noticed that the lon is upper than lat axis. I don't have much experience working with xarray, but as could compare with other datasets I've worked, it's in the opposite order: first lat and then lon coordinate.

Do you just need to transpose(..) the array? ds.transpose("time", "lat", "lon"), though that shouldn't affect your output at all, just the order of coordinates

The spatial resolution of this product is 500 m, so how is possible that I get a difference between points of 0.5°?

Looks like they're 1° increments in your screenshot. EE specifies the default scale of 1 degree increments here. Seems the scale=xx parameter lets you define this when opening the dataset.

I imagine there's some way of specifying crs, which changes the units that scale uses. So surely something like mercator (which is in meters) could be used and then scale=500, but I am really struggling with projections in xee and this particular dataset myself.

Hi!! Thank you so much for your reply. I finally used the same product from Copernicus repository. After I finish my current work, I'll try this approach to check if this solves my issues.

Neat, looks like Copernicus has a bit higher resolution anyway, I'll have to check it out
