== GFED2 ==
== FIRECAM tool ==


=== GFED2 monthly data thru 2008 ===
I developed the [https://globalfires.earthengine.app/view/firecam FIRECAM tool] for end-users to quickly compare fire emissions estimates from five global inventories (GFEDv4s, GFASv1.2, FINNv1.5, QFEDv2.5r1, and FEERv1.0-G1.2) for a given study region. Currently, FIRECAM supports six species: CO2, CO, CH4, OC, BC, and PM2.5. FIRECAM compares the five inventories at an aggregated 0.5deg x 0.5deg spatial resolution for the 2003-2018 time period. Please see the [https://sites.google.com/view/firecam/home FIRECAM website] and [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2019.111557 our paper] for more information. The paper describes the methodological differences among these inventories and metrics we developed to diagnose spatial biases and uncertainties. We recommend end-users to use multiple inventories in model runs, if possible. As we show in our paper, the choice of emissions inventory can significantly impact model results. If this is not feasible, please take the time to see how much emissions estimates vary in your study region using the FIRECAM tool.


As of July 2009, the GFED2 monthly data is now available for years 1997-2008.  The data is available in bpch format from the following directory structure:

You will need to make a small modification in routine GFED2_COMPUTE_BIOMASS (in <tt>gfed2_biomass_mod.f</tt>) in order to update the maximum available year of data.  Look for the lines:

      !-------------------------------
      ELSE IF ( LGFED2BB ) THEN
       
        CALL GFED2_AVAILABLE( YYYY, 1997, 2007 )
 
and change the 2007 to 2008:
 
      ! Availability of MONTHLY data
      !-------------------------------
      ELSE IF ( LGFED2BB ) THEN
       
        !-----------------------------------------------------------
        ! Prior to 7/8/09:

=== GFED2 8-day emissions ===

:The [GFED2 8-day emissions] code is working and I am using it for my work.  Overall, the results I get for CO and ozone are very similar to my monthly GFED runs but this changes if one focuses on a  specific region over with a short time scale.

== FLAMBE biomass emissions ==
 
''NOTE: At this time FLAMBE has not been implemented into the mainline standard GEOS-Chem, but it has been used for the NRT-ARCTAS codes.  Therefore probably only a small fraction of GEOS-Chem users will be concerned with these emissions at this time.''
 
=== Data issues ===
 
'''''[mailto:jafisher@fas.harvard.edu Jenny Fisher] wrote:'''''
 
:Sorry to revisit the old FLAMBE issues, but we are seeing some strange results in the fire emissions, and I am trying to verify with Ed Hyer that we are processing the data correctly.
 
:To get a handle on how we are processing the file, I have been looking in Philippe's directory <tt>~phs/IDL/dvpt/flambe/</tt>
 
:I took a look at some of the data files in the data/ directory in there. In the column that corresponds to carbon emissions (column 11, or 10 in IDL accounting), I see values that range from 4.95e4 to 765e4. Hyer tells me that in his version of the files, these range from 4.95 to 7650 (i.e. 4 orders of magnitude different). We are assuming these emissions are in g/m2, which they clearly aren't at our values.
 
:Do either of you know if I am looking at old files, and if what we have looks more like what he has? Or are we processing things 4 orders of magnitude too large?? Or, are we assuming a different unit on the emissions when we actually process them? I can't seem to find raw flambe data files anywhere besides Philippe's development directory...
 
'''''[mailto:plesager@seas.harvard.edu Philippe Le Sager] wrote:'''''
 
:We had a couple of problems with the data. The one that gave me headache was the difference between forecast and analysis data, which can be mixed in some files. There was the issue of double counting fires seen by both GOES and MODIS, and we found a problem with unit.  It was Kg instead of g as advertised in the ppt [that was given to us] (the only documentation for the data).  Ed did correct the files and back processed the data on its server.
 
:I have a "new" directory in my test data. You probably look at the old set of data. The new one is in the "new" subdirectory:

=== Obtaining the FLAMBE data ===
 
==== Raw data ====
The FLAMBE biomass burning data files are available at the following archive: http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/aerosol_web/arctas_flambe/data_hourly/.
 
[mailto:yantosca@seas.harvard.edu Bob Yantosca] has some scripts that can be used to download the data (contact him for more info).  These are:
 
;sleepFlambe: Perl script which issues a [[Downloading GEOS-Chem source code and data#Using wget to download files|Unix <tt>wget</tt>]] command to download one day (24 hourly files) of FLAMBE data to disk.
;wrap_flambe.pro: IDL batch file which acts as a driver for looping over all 24 hours of FLAMBE data for a given date.
;read_flambe.pro: IDL program which reads each FLAMBE "raw" data file and saves it to [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/gamap/doc/Chapter_6.html#6.2 GEOS-Chem bpch format].
 
==== Processed data ====
The processed FLAMBE data (for input to GEOS-Chem) are kept on the Harvard data archive in the directories:
 
ftp ftp.as.harvard.edu
cd /pub/geos-chem/NRT-ARCTAS/flambe/YYYY/MM
 
where <tt>YYYY/MM</tt> are the year and month of the data.  Currently we have the full data archive from 2008 and 2009, with some months of 2010.

Latest revision as of 20:41, 13 July 2023

This page describes the options for biomass burning emissions in GEOS-Chem.

GFED4

The GFED4 biomass burning emission inventory is now the current default biomass burning dataset for GEOS-Chem (introduced in v10-01, June 2015). The current GFED4 archive contains data from 1997 through 2016.

GFED4 has since superseded the obsolete GFED3 and GFED2 inventories.

--Bob Yantosca (talk) 19:18, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

FINNv1

The FINNv1 biomass burning emission inventory has been added to GEOS-Chem v10-01 via the HEMCO emissions component. This inventory may be used to replace GFED4 for research purposes.

--Melissa Sulprizio 10:21, 18 February 2015 (EST)

QFED

The QFED biomass burning emission inventory has been added to GEOS-Chem v10-01 via the HEMCO emissions component. This inventory may be used to replace GFED4 for research purposes.

--Melissa Sulprizio (talk) 18:27, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

GFAS

The GFAS biomass burning emission inventory was added in GEOS-Chem 12.2.0 via the HEMCO emissions component. This inventory may be used to replace GFED4 for research purposes.

--Melissa Sulprizio (talk) 12:19, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

FIRECAM tool

I developed the FIRECAM tool for end-users to quickly compare fire emissions estimates from five global inventories (GFEDv4s, GFASv1.2, FINNv1.5, QFEDv2.5r1, and FEERv1.0-G1.2) for a given study region. Currently, FIRECAM supports six species: CO2, CO, CH4, OC, BC, and PM2.5. FIRECAM compares the five inventories at an aggregated 0.5deg x 0.5deg spatial resolution for the 2003-2018 time period. Please see the FIRECAM website and our paper for more information. The paper describes the methodological differences among these inventories and metrics we developed to diagnose spatial biases and uncertainties. We recommend end-users to use multiple inventories in model runs, if possible. As we show in our paper, the choice of emissions inventory can significantly impact model results. If this is not feasible, please take the time to see how much emissions estimates vary in your study region using the FIRECAM tool.
