  1. The Need for Quantitative Satellite Datafor Emissions Modelling Martin G. Schultz, Judith Hoelzemann, and Angelika Heil Contributions from A. Spessa, K. Thonicke, J. Goldammer, A. Held, J.M. Pereira, D. Oom, G. Roberts, M. Wooster,D. Oertel, S. Plummer, T. Lyntham (and others) This work has been funded by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and by the European Commission under contract EVK2-CT-2002-0170 (RETRO)

  2. Fires are important for atmospheric composition- variability- trends Global CO Emission Estimates 1960-2000  chemical weather (GEMS)  protocol monitoring (Kyoto, CLRTAP), RETRO

  3. Existing fire emission inventories showlarge regional differences PhD J. J. Hoelzemann

  4. Satellite fire products Validation issues for all products!

  5. AVHRR-FFPMP all others Comparison of fire products: Indonesia

  6. Seasonality of fire counts: Indonesia

  7. WWF ecoregions and screened ATSR nighttime fires GLC2000 landcover and GBA2000 burned areas D. Oom, B. Mota, and J.M.C. Pereira JRC Ispra Mapping fires on ecoregions/landcover

  8. Diurnal cycle of fire emissions (Africa) from Roberts et al., 2005 Conclusions • Global fire emissions still very uncertain • Strong need for monitoring and forecasting • Satellite products show great potential • Products must be assessed regionally … • … and with common measures • Statistics for ecoregions might provide insight into reasons for discrepancies

  9. Thank you
