To develop a daily, high-resolution global inventory estimating trace gas and particulate emissions from open biomass burning for atmospheric chemistry and air quality applications.
Integrated daily satellite fire detections, land cover classifications, and biomass consumption rates into a 1 km resolution global framework.
Applied updated emission factors and developed chemical speciation profiles compatible with SAPRC99, GEOS-CHEM, and MOZART-4 chemical transport mechanisms.
Produced global annual non-methane organic compound (NMOC) emission estimates that are up to a factor of 5 higher than previous inventories.
Derived explicit global estimates for key organic species, including formaldehyde and methanol, with overall model uncertainty within approximately a factor of two.
