Biomass burning emissions

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 (as of v10-01, June 2015). GFED4 includes emissions for years beyond 2011.

GFED3

The GFED3 biomass burning emissions inventory has been the default biomass burning option in GEOS-Chem since since GEOS-Chem v9-01-02 (November 2011). It is now superseded by GFED4 in June 2015. You may still use GFED3 as a research option.

GFED2

The GFED2 biomass burning emissions are now considered obsolete. They have superseded by GFED3, and more recently, GFED4.

FINNv1

The FINN biomass burning emission inventory has been added to GEOS-Chem v10-01 via the HEMCO emissions component. This inventory may be used to replace GFED3 for research purposes.

FLAMBE

The FLAMBE biomass burning emissions inventory was used in several research versions of GEOS-Chem, especially to provide modeling support for aircraft field campaigns. But it was never adopted as a standard GEOS-Chem biomass burning emissions option.

Duncan et al "Seasonal" Biomass Emissions

See Bey et al [2001]. These emissions are now considered obsolete in GEOS-Chem.
