Air pollutant emissions associated with forest, grassland, and agricultural burning in Texas

Outdoor fires, such as wildfires and prescribed burns, can emit substantial amounts of particulate matter and other pollutants into the atmosphere. In Texas, an inventory of forest, grassland and agricultural burning activities revealed that fires consumed vegetation on 1.6 and…

Boreal forest fires in Siberia in 1998: estimation of area burned and emissions of pollutants by advanced very high resolution radiometer satellite data

The NOAA 12 advanced very high resolution radiometer detected extensive forest fires in boreal Siberia and northern Mongolia during April through October 1998, a year of extremely dry weather, in particular, in the Russian Far East. Analysis of the satellite data has been…

Emissions of trace gases from experimental fires in central Siberia

Although the boreal forest in Siberia, Russia contains approximately one-fourth of the world's terrestrial biomass, emissions data from biomass burning in Siberia is scarce. Five experimental fires of varying intensity were conducted in Central Siberia in 2000 and 2001. The…

Using a MODIS direct broadcast system to monitor fires and smoke, and forecast air quality

The MODIS instrument on the NASA Terra satellite has been conducting routine global measurements of active fires and aerosol optical depths since late 2000. Currently, it takes more than 4 days to acquire MODIS data from the NASA DAAC Center, making it difficult to use the…

Fire Modeling for Fuel and Smoke Assessment

PROJECT OBJECTIVES As requested under Tasks 8 and 9, user-friendly modeling systems designed for local use will be provided for modeling smoke from wildland fires. These tools will provide a means for conducting tradeoff analyses, with a focus on emissions production, of…
