Add FIRMS active fire data to Geoserver

[alexander-petkov]

Add FIRMS (active fire data to Geoserver. https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ Might be a possibility to cascade these layers, since there is a way to get this data wia WMS: https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/web-services/

I an configuring Active fires data from FIRMS as a cascading WMS data source.

There are quite a few active fire layers available:

I will start with the top one for now

I added firms_modis_24 as a cascaded layer

Example map request: http://aws.wfas.net/geoserver/firms/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=firms%3Afires_modis_24&bbox=-180.0%2C-90.0%2C180.0%2C90.0&width=768&height=384&srs=EPSG%3A4326&format=application/openlayers

Do we need the actual active fires data, or is this for display only?

Can we do a VRT or a Layer Group for all MODIS data somehow or all 24 hour summaries?

It is possible--I grouped MODIS and VIIRS fires for the past 24 hours together as a layer group: http://aws.wfas.net/geoserver/firms/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=firms%3Afirms_active_fires_24&bbox=-180.0%2C12.0%2C-48.0%2C72.0&width=768&height=349&srs=EPSG%3A4326&format=application/openlayers
