Landscape fire is a widespread, somewhat unpredictable phenomena that plays an
important part in Earth's biogeochemical cycling. In many biomes worldwide fire also …

The recent literature on satellite remote sensing of air quality is reviewed. 2009 is the 50th
anniversary of the first satellite atmospheric observations. For the first 40 of those years …

The two Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments, on-board
NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, have provided more than a decade of global fire data …

This study uses satellite data to detect agricultural straw burning and estimates its impact on
air pollution and health in China. We find that straw burning increases particulate matter …

Abstract The first Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) was launched in October
2011 aboard the Suomi-National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite. The VIIRS …

Aerosols from biomass burning (BB) emissions are poorly constrained in global and
regional models, resulting in a high level of uncertainty in understanding their impacts. In …

China is a key region for understanding fire activity and the drivers of its variability under
strict fire suppression policies. Here, we present a detailed fire occurrence dataset for China …

Biomass burning (BB) is the second largest source of trace gases and the largest source of
primary fine carbonaceous particles in the global troposphere. Many recent BB studies have …

In several biomes, including croplands, wooded savannas, and tropical forests, many small
fires occur each year that are well below the detection limit of the current generation of …

Active fire detection in satellite imagery is of critical importance to the management of
environmental conservation policies, supporting decision-making and law enforcement. This …
