Short summary

Boreal Siberia is a unique region with severe wildfire activity which is little studied today. We employ unique ground-based observations of major biomass burning products obtained during TRanscontinental Observations Into the Chemistry of the Atmosphere (TROICA) expedition along the Trans-Siberian Railway to provide information about chemical composition of forest fire plumes in Siberia. The results may be used in studies related to climate change and regional air quality.
