Fire emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) in the Amazon basin over the 2003 to 2018 time period, optimized with CO column data from the Measurements of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITT) satellite in the TM5-4DVAR inverse system. These emissions result from the reference inversions described in Chapter 4 of Stijn Naus' PhD thesis (available on https://edepot.wur.nl/536720), as well as in an upcoming publication. The inversions start from prior emissions of the Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS), also available online (https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/global-fire-emissions).<br>The optimized emissions are given for the two zoom domains over which satellite data have been assimilated. Advised is to only use emissions from the 1 by 1 degree inner zoom domain. Emissions only cover the April to December inversion window.
