#CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS #opendata for Amazonia Legal & Mato Gross do Sul🇧🇷 showing daily total intensity since 1 August & estimated carbon emissions since 1 July. Generally similar to 2019 Pantanal fires increasing MGS data in recent days.
#CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS data for Argentina🇦🇷, Bolivia🇧🇴 & Paraguay🇵🇾 since 1 July
Updated monitoring of devastating & deadly western US #wildfires with #CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS data based on MODIS active fire obs. Daily total intensity >> 2003-2019 mean & estimated annual total carbon emissions confirm record scale of #CaliforniaFires & #OregonFires#IIFF
Escalation of devastating #wildfires, smoke & surface #airpollution across entire western US with very high levels of surface PM2.5 for the coming days. @CopernicusECMWF Atmosphere Monitoring Service @ECMWF forecast initialized 9 Sept at 00 UTC visualized by @windyforecast
Clear increase in daily total intensity of #CaliforniaFires & #ColoradoFires on 7 Sept >> 2003-2019 mean in #CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS data. Latest 24-hour aerosol & carbon monoxide forecasts show long-range transport of smoke extending across the US from SW to NE.
As #wildfires increase across western US today’s #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service surface PM2.5 & aerosol forecasts for 12UTC, based on 🛰 fire & smoke obs from 6 Sept, show smoke impact on #airquality spreading eastwards. Visualized by @windyforecast
Quick initial evaluation of #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service AOD forecasts in relation to long-range transport of #CaliforniaFires & #ColoradoFires smoke vs. Aeronet measurements at Fresno & @NASAAmes CA, Sterling CO, Missoula MT, N Great Plains ND & Sioux Falls SD
More info on Aeronet measurements at aeronet.gsfc.nasa.gov. #Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring service forecasts are initialized from analyses which assimilate satellite observations - independent measurements such as Aeronet are essential to evaluation and validation
#Wildfire activity in other parts of #Siberia has been relatively low all summer. Krasnoyarsk & Irkustk have been experiencing increased daily total intensity over last 2 weeks close to 2003-2018 mean & << 2019.
Daily total #Siberia#wildfire intensity for Sakha Republic &Chukotka Autonomous Oblast showing some increase at or slightly > 2003-2018 mean in recent days but << the activity earlier in August
Have we seen the end of this year's #ArcticFires? Cloud still limits🛰️obs but #ArcticCircle#wildfires expected to die down in 2nd half August based on 18 years of #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data. 240 Mt CO2 since 1 June 2020 higher than previous annual totals.
