Geoportail Morocco
GIS layers calibrated for Morocco from satellite data and ground-truth fieldwork. Free national overview, high-resolution data sold by province.
Layers
Automated satellite detection (3 VIIRS satellites, about 6 passes a day over Morocco), not verified on the ground. A hotspot can be agricultural burning, an industrial heat source, or a forest fire: the satellite cannot tell them apart. 3-day window.
