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.

The Fire INventory from NCAR (FINN): a high resolution global model to estimate the emissions from open burning
Christine Wiedinmyer,S. K. Akagi,Robert J. Yokelson,Louisa K. Emmons,J. A. Al-Saadi,John J. Orlando,Amber J. Soja +6 more
TL;DR: The Fire Inventory from NCAR version 1.0 (FINNv1) provides daily, 1 km resolution, global estimates of the trace gas and particle emissions from open burning of biomass, which includes wildfire, agricultural fires, and prescribed burning and does not include biofuel use and trash burning as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global burned area and biomass burning emissions from small fires
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for combining 1-km thermal anomalies (active fires) and 500 m burned area observations from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was developed to estimate the influence of these fires.

TL;DR: The first detailed field measurements of biomass burning (BB) emissions in the Northern Hemisphere tropics as part of the MILAGRO project were made by two instrumented aircraft were the National Center for Atmospheric Research C-130 and a University of Montana/US Forest Service Twin Otter.

Emission of trace gases and aerosols from biomass burning
Meinrat O. Andreae,P. Merlet +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of emission factors for a large variety of species emitted from biomass fires, where data were not available, they have proposed estimates based on appropriate extrapolation techniques.

An Enhanced Contextual Fire Detection Algorithm for MODIS
TL;DR: An improved replacement detection algorithm is presented that offers increased sensitivity to smaller, cooler fires as well as a significantly lower false alarm rate.

Estimates of gross and net fluxes of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere from biomass burning
Wolfgang Seiler,Paul J. Crutzen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the global amounts of biomass which are affected by fires, and estimated an overall effect lof the biosphere on the atmospheric carbon dioxide budget which may range between the possibilities of a net uptake or a net release of about 2 Pg C/yr.

Interannual and seasonal variability of biomass burning emissions constrained by satellite observations
Bryan N. Duncan,Bryan N. Duncan,Randall V. Martin,A. C. Staudt,A. C. Staudt,Rosemarie Yevich,Jennifer A. Logan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a methodology for estimating the seasonal and interannual variation of biomass burning designed for use in global chemical transport models, using the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) Aerosol Index (AI) data set.
