IMPACTS OF BIOMASS BURNING OVER SOUTHEAST ASIA Raquel Fransisco (Phillipines) Edna Juanillo (Phillipines) Dewi Kirono (Indonesia) (Fabien Solmon)
RATIONALES Archipelago and montainous area Forest fire occurs quite often In 1997-1998 ENSO event: 12 million hectares were burned causing more than US$ 9 billion economic loss
OBJECTIVE To simulate impacts of forest fire burning over the region
CONTROL RUN • 80 x 101 • 55 km horisontal & 10 minute resolution • OISST & NNRP2 data set • LBC = relaxation • PBL = Holtslag • Fritsch & Chappell Convective closure • SUBEX large scale precipitation scheme • From 15 August 1997 to 1 October 1997
BIOMAS-BURNING RUN • Constructed a data base of forest fireobtained from satellite images classify it as:No burning (0), Small burning (1), Medium burning (2), Heavy burning (3)
BIOMAS-BURNING RUN • Constructed a data base of forest fireobtained from satellite images classify it as:No burning (0), Small burning (1), Medium burning (2), Heavy burning (3) The satellite images are of August 17, 22, 24, 25 and 28 1997. • Input the coded data of forest fire into the RegCM • Run the tracer model with a change in optical property (absorbing aerosol – black carbon/soot) This is coded especially for this particular project
RESULTS • Animation of the forest fire • Shortwave radiation • Cloud • Air temperature • Average temperature • Average shortwave
Control-Run Biomas-Run Shortwave radiation (W/M2)
Control-Run Biomas-Run Shortwave radiation and Cloud Fraction
Control-Run Biomas-Run AIR TEMPERATURE
Control-Run Biomas-Run Shortwave radiation (W/m2)
Control-Run Biomas-Run
CONCLUSION The model can capture: • the transport and removal process • decrease of shortwave radiation reaching the surface ; cooling of surface • tropospheric warming effect of absorbing aerosol (BC) • influence on convection ??
