      abstract     = {We screened the algorithm 2 ( 308 K threshold) European
                      Space Agency (ESA) World Fire Atlas (WFA), for the period
                      1997 - 2002, using ancillary land cover, nightlights and
                      volcanic activity datasets, combined with statistical
                      techniques to detect the occurrence of space-time clusters
                      of anomalous observations. The WFA is built using night time
                      data from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) onboard
                      the Second European Remote-Sensing Satellite (ERS-2). The
                      spatial resolution of the data is 1 km and the satellite
                      revisiting period is 3 days at the equator. The WFA is the
                      first and longest archive of global fire observations and
                      has been used in numerous biomass burning studies. Known
                      limitations of the WFA are the inclusion of warm surfaces,
                      gas flares, and city lights, and an underestimation of
                      actual global fire activity, due to the time of satellite
                      overpass. Nevertheless, it has been considered that the WFA
                      contains a relatively small proportion of observations that
                      do not correspond to vegetation fires, which is not
                      corroborated by our findings. During the study period, the
                      annual percentage of false alarms and non-vegetation fires
                      varied from a minimum value of $20.6\%$ in 1997 to a maximum
                      of $27.9\%$ in 1998. Gas flares and hot bare soils are the
                      major sources of false alarms and non-vegetation fires.},
