Potential global fire monitoring from EOS‐MODIS
Yoram J. Kaufman,Christopher O. Justice,Luke P. Flynn,Jackie D. Kendall,E. M. Prins,Louis Giglio,Darold E. Ward,W. Paul Menzel,Alberto Setzer +8 more
TL;DR: The National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) plans to launch the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the polarorbiting Earth Observation System (EOS) providing morning and evening global observations in 1999 and afternoon and night observations in 2000 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Road paving, fire regime feedbacks, and the future of Amazon forests
Daniel C. Nepstad,Georgia O. Carvalho,Ana Cristina Barros,Ane Alencar,João Paulo Capobianco,Josh Bishop,Paulo Moutinho,Paul Lefebvre,Urbano Lopes da Silva,E. M. Prins +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that paving, recuperate or constructing 6245 km of roads in the Amazon may have the opposite effect of increasing forest fire in the region, and that road paving will accelerate deforestation, logging, forest fire, smoke-related illness, and displacement of small-scale farmers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoke, Clouds, and Radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) Experiment
Yoram J. Kaufman,Peter V. Hobbs,Volker W. J. H. Kirchhoff,Paulo Artaxo,Lorraine A. Remer,Brent N. Holben,Michael D. King,Darold E. Ward,E. M. Prins,Karla Longo,L. F. Mattos,Carlos A. Nobre,James D. Spinhirne,Qiang Ji,Anne M. Thompson,James F. Gleason,Sundar A. Christopher,Si-Chee Tsay +17 more
TL;DR: The smoke, clouds, and radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) field project as mentioned in this paper has been used to study biomass burning, emphasizing measurements of surface biomass, fires, smoke aerosol and trace gases, clouds and radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving National Air Quality Forecasts with Satellite Aerosol Observations
Jassim A. Al-Saadi,James Szykman,R. Bradley Pierce,Chieko Kittaka,Doreen Neil,D. Allen Chu,Lorraine A. Remer,Liam E. Gumley,E. M. Prins,Lewis Weinstock,Clinton MacDonald,Richard Wayland,Fred Dimmick,Jack Fishman +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a prototype tool for improving fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air quality forecasts using satellite aerosol observations was demonstrated, and daily forecast products were generated from a near-real-time fusion of multiple input data products, including aerosol optical depth (AOD) from the MODIS)/Earth Observing System (EOS) instrument on the NASA Terra satellite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Monitoring and Forecasting of Biomass-Burning Smoke: Description of and Lessons From the Fire Locating and Modeling of Burning Emissions (FLAMBE) Program
Jeffrey S. Reid,Edward J. Hyer,E. M. Prins,Douglas L. Westphal,Jianglong Zhang,Jun Wang,Sundar A. Christopher,C. A. Curtis,Christopher C. Schmidt,D.P. Eleuterio,Kim Richardson,J.P. Hoffman +11 more
TL;DR: An overview of the FLAMBE system is given and fundamental metrics on emission and transport patterns of smoke are presented and it is demonstrated that MODIS optical depth data assimilation provides significant variance reduction against observations.
