Total fire CO emissions in 2020

The map shows total carbon monoxide emissions over the Amazon and Cerrado in the year 2020 as estimated with the TUD.S4F approach from the Sense4Fire project. The data is produced at a spatial resolution of 333 x 333 m (High-res) and also provided at a coarser resolution (aggregated to 0.1° x 0.1°).

Comparison of emission approaches

The total emissions of total dry matter (DM), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the Amazon and Cerrado region in 2020 from the three approaches in Sense4Fire are compared in this figure. As a comparison, we here also show the GFED500m product, which is the Global Fire Emissions Database 500 meter model by van Wees et al. (2022)

TUD-S4F v0.2

TUD-S4F provides fuel loads, fuel consumption and fire emissions. The data is provided at a spatial resolution of 333 x 333 m and aggregated to 0.1 x 0.1° for Amazon, Europe, S-Africa, and Siberia. It covers the period 2014-01-01 to 2021-10-20 at 10-daily time step.

Datasets

• S4F.CCILC_S4Fba_dynEFThe TUD-S4F default experiment computes dynamic emission factors and uses as input burned area data for the year 2020 from the GFA-S4F approach and for the other years from the ESA CCI fire (v5.1) dataset .
• S4F.CCILC_S4Fba_fixEFThis experiment differs from S4F.CCILC_S4Fba_dynEF in the estimated emissions because it is based on fixed emission factors for forests and grasslands. Estimated fuel loads and fuel consumption are identical to S4F.CCILC_S4Fba_dynEF. The experiment is available for the Amazon region only.
• S4F.CCILC_FireCCI51This experiment uses burned area from ESA's CCI fire (v5.1) dataset only and dynamic emission factors.

KNMI-S5p v0.1

KNMI-S5p provides fire emission for carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NO) derived from Sentinel-5p observations. The data is provided for all regions at 0.1 x 0.1° and at daily time step for the year 2020.

Datasets

• KNMI-S5pKNMI-S5p provides CO and NO emissions for all regions for 2020.

The dataset is identical to the dataset in the Experimental Database version 01.

GFA-S4F v0.1 and v0.2

GFA-S4F provides fire emissions and fuel consumption derived from VIIRS Fire Radiative Power observations based on a fire type classification. The method is based on Andela et al. (2022). The data is provided at a spatial resolution of 333 x 333 m and aggregated to 0.1 x 0.1° for all regions and covers the year 2020. Fire emission are provided daily. The fire type map is an annual map.

Datasets

• GFA-S4F v0.1Results for all regions for 2020. For the Amazon/Cerrado region, please use v0.2.
• GFA-S4F v0.2Like GFA-S4F-FRP v0.1 but with improved parametrisation for NOx emissions and prolonged time series (2019-2023). Only for the Amazon/Cerrado study region.
