Abstract:

Aerosol optical thickness and aerosol index variations caused by large-scale forest fires in Central Yakutia in 2002 were studied by remote sensing data (NOAA, Terra, Earth Probe). Total emissions of CO₂, CO, CH₄ etc. were calculated using modeling approach and MODIS/Terra burned area data. A comparison of total emissions from forest fires in Central Yakutia with global fire and volcanic emissions are made. Long-range transport events of aerosol particles during maximum activity of forest fires are examined.

Keywords:

forest fires, aerosols, emissions, remote sensing
