TL;DR: In this paper, the results from smoldering combustion during 24 fires are presented including production of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, ethene, ethyne, propene, formaldehyde, 2-hydroxyethanal, methanol, phenol, acetic acid, formic acid, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and carbonyl sulfide.

TL;DR: In this article, an airborne trace gas measurement system consisting of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) coupled to a flow-through multipass cell (AFTIR) was installed on a U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service King Air B-90.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared five test fires performed during August and September 1990 in the cerrado (savannal-like region) in central Brazil (three fires) and tropical moist forest (two fires) in the eastern Amazon.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an airborne Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (AFTIR) coupled with a flow-through, air-sampling cell on a King Air B-90 to make in situ trace gas measurements in isolated smoke plumes from four, large, boreal zone wildfires in interior Alaska during June 1997.

TL;DR: In this article, ground-based measurements of smoke emissions and aboveground biomass were made for fires in grassland and woodland savanna ecosystems in South Africa and Zambia, and models developed for estimating emissions were integrated in a nomogram for estimating total emissions of CO2, CO, CH4, nonmethane hydrocarbons, and particles of less than 2.5 μm diameter per unit area.
