Data sets

TROPOMI Level 2 Carbon Monoxide total column products, Version 02 Copernicus Sentinel-5P https://doi.org/10.5270/S5P-bj3nry0

LANCE Near Real Time NASA Near Real-Time and MCD14DL MODIS Active Fire Detections https://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/

Short summary

Satellite-derived CO emissions provide new insights into the understanding of global CO emission rates from wildfires. We use TROPOMI satellite data to create a global inventory database of wildfire CO emissions. These satellite-derived wildfire emissions are used for the evaluation and improvement of existing fire emission inventories and to examine how the wildfire CO emissions have changed over the past 2 decades.
