Short summary
To understand how fires influence climate, we need to understand the transport of their emissions. Using satellite observations, we detected day-to-day evolution of carbon dioxide high in the atmosphere (8–11 km) and traced the air back in time to identify fire sources. We showed that carbon dioxide and fire activity daily variability were strongly linked. Also, comparing observation data and a widely used modelling system showed model failed to reproduce the largest events.
