Journal ArticleDOI
Global fire emissions and the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural, and peat fires (1997-2009)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a revised version of the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford-Approach (CASA) biogeochemical model and improved satellite-derived estimates of area burned, fire activity, and plant productivity to calculate fire emissions for the 1997-2009 period on a 0.5° spatial resolution with a monthly time step.

Hobson,Mathias Disney,Gareth Roberts,Michael Dunderdale,Christopher N.H. Doll,Robert P. d'Entremont,Baoxin Hu,Shunlin Liang,Jeffrey L. Privette,David P. Roy +21 more
TL;DR: The MODIS BRDF/Albedo algorithm makes use of a semi-empirical kernel-driven bidirectional reflectance model and multidate, multispectral data to provide global 1-km gridded and tiled products of the land surface every 16 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of boreal forest fire on climate warming.
James T. Randerson,Heping Liu,Mark Flanner,Scott D. Chambers,Yufang Jin,Peter Hess,Gabriele Pfister,Michelle C. Mack,Kathleen K. Treseder,Lisa R. Welp,F. S. Chapin,Jennifer W. Harden,Michael L. Goulden,E. A. Lyons,Jason C. Neff,Edward A. G. Schuur,Charles S. Zender +16 more
TL;DR: Measurements and analysis of a boreal forest fire, integrating the effects of greenhouse gases, aerosols, black carbon deposition on snow and sea ice, and postfire changes in surface albedo imply that future increases in boreal fire may not accelerate climate warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prototyping a global algorithm for systematic fire-affected area mapping using MODIS time series data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an algorithm developed to map fire-affected areas at a global scale using MODIS surface reflectance time series data, based on the recently published Bi-Directional Reflectance Model-Based Expectation change detection approach and maps at 500 m the location and approximate day of burning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consistency of MODIS surface bidirectional reflectance distribution function and albedo retrievals: 2. Validation
Yufang Jin,Crystal B. Schaaf,Curtis E. Woodcock,Feng Gao,Feng Gao,Xiaowen Li,Xiaowen Li,Alan H. Strahler,Wolfgang Lucht,Shunlin Liang +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the accuracy of the MODIS surface albedo product using available field measurements at Surface Radiation Budget Network (SURFRAD) and Cloud and Radiation Testbed- Southern Great Plains (CART/SGP) stations was evaluated.
