Diagnostic satellite burned area simulations from three Dynamic Global Vegetation Models

Simulation results using three Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (JULES, ORCHIDEE, OCN) run using prescribed fire burned area (satellite) to replace the prognostic algorithms in each model. These simulations results were used in the following publication:
