Global mapping of vertical injection profiles of fire emission

 

The global mapping of the injection profiles of the fire smoke has been obtained by re-analysis of fire radiative power data of MODIS instrument onboard of Aqua and Terra satellites. All fires recorded during 2001 and 2008 have been processed with plume-top calculation algorithm described here . The computational algorihtm is described here .


Injection profiles:
Mean normalised emission profile, daytime
Mean normalised emission profile, night-time
Mean normalised emission profile, whole-day average
Profiles with additional smoothing:
Mean normalised emission profile, daytime
Mean normalised emission profile, night-time
Mean normalised emission profile, whole-day average


Examples of the obtained maps:


Height of 90-th percentile of injection profile, February, daytime



Height of 90-th percentile of injection profile, February, night-time



Height of 90-th percentile of injection profile, August, daytime



Height of 90-th percentile of injection profile, August, night-time



Zonal average of injection profile, August, daytime



Zonal average of injection profile, August, night-time
