Product Information
National Weather Service (NWS) Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) has requested for fire
detections, fire radiative power, hourly emissions for EMC regional air quality forecast models.
Regional hourly Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite
(VIIRS) Emissions (RAVE) algorithm operationally generates biomass burning (fire) emissions of
carbon dioxide (CO2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ), total
particulate matter (TPM), sulfur dioxide (SO2 ), organic carbon (OC), black carbon (BC), nitrogen
oxides
(NOx ), ammonia (NH3 ), methane (CH4) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
for
every hour each day. Additionally, hourly mean fire radiative power (FRP), hourly fire radiative energy
(FRE), and dry mass (DM) consumed are also provided. The product files are in netCDF4 format
and the North American domain of interest is 3.5oN - 81.8oN and 144.96oE -
27.84oW with a latency of one hour, refresh rate of one hour, two spatial resolutions of 3 km and
13 km
respectively. Details of the products and algorithms can be found from
Algorithm
Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) and
External User
Manual (EUM).
