TLDR
Improvements made to the fire detection algorithm and swath-level product that were implemented as part of the Collection 6 land-product reprocessing, which commenced in May 2015, indicated targeted improvements in the performance of the collection 6 activeFire detection algorithm compared to Collection 5, with reduced omission errors over large fires, and reduced false alarm rates in tropical ecosystems.About:

The unintended impacts of agricultural fires: Human capital in China
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of fires on cognitive performance were investigated using data from the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) and agricultural fires in China from 2005 to 2011, and they found that a one standard deviation increase in the difference between upwind and downwind fires during the exam decreases the total exam score by 1.42 percent of a standard deviation (or 0.6 points), and further decreases the probability of getting into first-tier universities by 0.51 percent.

Effects of Live Fuel Moisture Content on Wildfire Occurrence in Fire-Prone Regions over Southwest China
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the relationship between Live Fuel Moisture Content (LFMC) and wildfire occurrence across the subtropical highland zone (Cwa) and humid subtropICAL zones (Cwb) over southwest China, and demonstrated that the LFMC dynamics explained wildfire occurrence in these fire-prone regions over China, allowing the possibility to develop a new operational wildfire danger forecasting model over this area by considering the satellite-derived LFMC product.

Biomass burning sources and their contributions to the local air quality in Hong Kong.
TL;DR: A quantitative estimation of the impacts of biomass burning emissions from different source regions to the local air quality in Hong Kong in 2014 using global chemistry transport model simulations, sun photometer measurements, satellite observations and local monitoring network data suggests the intensified biomass burning activities in the Indochinese Peninsula are the major sources of black carbon and CO during springtime.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used in-situ measurements, passive and active remote sensing observations, as well as numerical simulations to describe the temporal variability of aerosol single-scattering properties such as aerosol optical depth (AOD), single scattering albedo (SSA), and aerosol direct shortwave forcing at the Earth's surface during the transport of biomass burning (BB) aerosols from Canada to Europe between 2nd and 7th of July 2013.

Characterizing Flaring from Unconventional Oil and Gas Operations in South Texas Using Satellite Observations.
TL;DR: Data from the VIIRS Nightfire satellite product was leveraged to characterize the extent of flaring in the Eagle Ford Shale region of south Texas and suggest flaring may be a significant environmental exposure in parts of this region.

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.
