Abstract

The largest fires records in the world are associated with tropical regions, which can release into the atmosphere an amount of gases and particles that can be affect directly or indirectly the climate and the air quality. This work aims to develop a methodology coupled to the 3BEM_FRP model that uses fire duration information for different types of land use and land cover for biomes of South America in order to provide information for the estimation of Fire Radiative Energy when there is absence of Fire Radiative Power data. The fires mean time for the different uses and land cover type from IGBP for America was estimated using the WFAABA / GOES product from 1997 to 2015 and implemented in the 3BEM_FRP model. PM2.5 emissions was estimated for South America during 2003-2015 using the 3BEM_FRP plus cycle (C3BEM_FRP) with the purpose to verify the biomass burning emissions spatial distribution. About 61% of biomass burning in South America lasting between 6 and 7 hours and Brazil is the country that most emits PM2.5 from biomass burning, corresponding to 58% of the emissions (2003-2020). Pará was the Brazilian state with the highest emissions associated (1.2 Tg PM2.5 year-1).
