GFED5 gridded files

!! Please note that this is a Beta version and the data may change until the accompanying paper is published. We appreciate any feedback on the data and its format !!

NetCDF4 files with gridded estimates of burned area and emissions can be downloaded here. There are four directories,:

• The files in the GFED5_Beta_monthly_emissions directory contain monthly files with burned area and carbon emissions, including the partitioning in several fire classes, as well as monthly trace gas and aerosol emissions. These files only contain rudimentary information about burned area, users requiring more detailed information are referred to the burned area files in the Zenodo repository
• The files in the GFED5_Beta_daily_emissions directory contain daily estimates of emissions of trace gases and aerosols.
• The files in the GFED5_Beta_diurnal_cycle directory contain average diurnal cycle profiles which can be used to partition daily emissions to hourly emissions
• The files in the GFED5_Beta_summary_tables directory contain tables with annual emission estimates for the 14 basis regions (see below) for all species.

Trace gas and aerosol specied include carbon (C), dry matter (DM), CO2, CO, CH4, NMOC (gaseous), H2, NOx (as NO), N2O, PM2.5, TPC, OC, BC, SO2, NH3, C2H6, CH3OH, C2H5OH, C3H8, C2H2, C2H4, C3H6, C5H8, C10H16, C7H8, C6H6, C8H10, Toluene lump, Higher alkenes, Higher alkanes, CH2O, C2H4O, C3H6O, C2H6S, HCN, HCOOH, CH3COOH, MEK, CH3COCHO, HOCH2CHO. Other species can be computed on request.

Tables

Summary tables for global and regional emission estimates for the 2002-2022 period are available here. The regional estimates are based on 14 basis regions shown below, with the abbreviations used in the tables.
