Estimating trace gas and aerosol emissions over South America: relationship between fire radiative energy released and aerosol optical depth observations

Contemporary human activities such as tropical deforestation. Land clearing for agriculture, pest control and grassland management lead to biomass burning, which in turn leads to land-cover changes. However, biomass burning emissions are not correctly measured and the methods to…
