For decades detection and monitoring of forest and other wildland fires has relied heavily on
aircraft (and satellites). Technical advances and improved affordability of both sensors and …

Climate, land use, and other anthropogenic and natural drivers have the potential to
influence fire dynamics in many regions. To develop a mechanistic understanding of the …

The Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE) is designed to collect
integrated observations from large wildland fires and provide evaluation datasets for new …

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit
area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the …

Fire emissions estimates have long been based on bottom-up approaches that are not only
complex, but also fraught with compounding uncertainties. We present the development of a …

The Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS) assimilates fire radiative power (FRP)
observations from satellite-based sensors to produce daily estimates of biomass burning …

Carbonaceous emissions from wildfires are a dynamic mixture of gases and particles that
have important impacts on air quality and climate. Emissions that feed atmospheric models …

Satellite-based active fire (AF) products provide opportunities for constructing continuous fire
progression maps, a critical dataset needed for improved fire behavior modeling and fire …
