Carbon, Trace Gas, and Particulate Emissions from Wildfires in the Boreal Regions of North America
Large wildfires have a considerable impact on the atmospheric concentrations of CO2, CO, O3, NOx, and CH4 across North America. Carbon releases can be as high as 4 to 8 kg C-m per fire event. These emissions significantly affect concentrations far downwind. With funding from NASA, the Joint Fire Science Program, NSF, and the Canadian Government, US and Canadian researchers have been developing ...
متن کاملEmissions of greenhouse gases from a North American megacity
[1] Atmospheric column abundances of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) have been measured above the South Coast air basin (SCB), a densely populated urban region of Southern California, USA, which includes Los Angeles and the surrounding suburbs. Large diurnal variations in CO and CH4 are observed which correlate well with those in CO2. Weaker cor...
متن کاملEstimating carbon emissions from African wildfires
We developed a technique for studying seasonal and interannual variation in pyrogenic carbon emissions from Africa using a modelling approach that scales burned area estimates from L3JRC, a map recently generated from remote sensing of burn scars instead of active fires. Carbon fluxes were calculated by the novel fire model SPITFIRE embedded within the dynamic vegetation model framework LPJGUES...
متن کاملClimate and wildfires in the North American boreal forest.
The area burned in the North American boreal forest is controlled by the frequency of mid-tropospheric blocking highs that cause rapid fuel drying. Climate controls the area burned through changing the dynamics of large-scale teleconnection patterns (Pacific Decadal Oscillation/El Niño Southern Oscillation and Arctic Oscillation, PDO/ENSO and AO) that control the frequency of blocking highs ove...
متن کاملExtraction of Tiled Top-down Irregular Pyramids from Large Images
Processing large images is a common issue in the computer vision framework with applications such as satellite or microscopic images. The major problem comes from the size of those images that prevents them from being loaded globally into memory. Moreover, such images contain different information at different levels of resolution. For example, global features, such as the delimitation of a tis...
