Determination of enhancement ratios of HCOOH relative to CO in biomass burning plumes by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI)

Matthieu Pommier, Cathy Clerbaux, and Pierre-Francois Coheur

Data sets

IASI FORLI-CO products Aeris data infrastructure http://iasi.aeris-data.fr/CO/

HCOOH products Aeris data infrastructure http://iasi.aeris-data.fr/HCOOH/.

Short summary

A new estimation of enhancement ratios relative to CO for HCOOH over seven biomass burning regions is proposed. Fire-affected HCOOH and CO total columns are defined by combining the total columns from IASI, geographic location of the fires from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and surface wind speed field from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). An additional classification of the enhancement ratios by type of fuel burned is also provided.
