Emission Estimation

Working Group Focus

Quantify the contribution of multiple sources of variability to fire emission estimates.

Led by

• Madina Doumbia, University Péléforo Gon Coulibaly, Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire
• N'Datchoh Evelyne Touré, Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny, Côte d'Ivoire
• Shobha Kondragunta, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USA

Primary Goal

• Evaluate and quantify the move to using VIIRS-only for emission estimates

Other Community Interests

• Regional intercomparison quantification of different inventories
• Summary of strengths and weaknesses by region and biome
• Study of using the same emission factors in emission creation
• How important is temporal variability in emission factors
