SAFARI 2000 1-Degree Estimates of Burned Biomass, Area, and Emissions, 2000

A new method is used to generate spatial estimates of monthly averaged biomass burned area and spatial and temporal estimates of trace gas and aerosol emissions from open fires in southern Africa. Global burned area data for the year 2000 (GBA2000) supplemented with the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) fire count data are employed to quantify the area burned at 1-km resolution by using a fractional vegetation cover map derived from satellite observations.

本项研究采用了一种创新方法，以生成南部非洲月均生物量燃烧面积的时空估计以及露天火灾造成的痕量气体和气溶胶排放的时空估计。通过结合全球2000年燃烧面积数据（GBA2000）以及沿轨扫描辐射计（ATSR）的火灾计数数据，本研究利用由卫星观测得到的植被覆盖率图计算出了1公里分辨率的燃烧面积，从而对燃烧区域进行量化。
