  • Biomass burning emission estimation in the Modis era: State-of-the-art and future directions

    Open AccessMark Parrington, Cynthia H Whaley et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2025

    Accurate estimates of biomass burning (BB) emissions are of great importance worldwide due to the impacts of these emissions on human health, ecosystems, air quality, and climate. Atmospheric modeling efforts to represent these impacts require BB emissions as a key input. This paper is presented by the Biomass Burning Uncertainty: Reactions, Emissions and Dynamics (BBURNED) activity of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry project and la…

  • Relationship between circum-Arctic atmospheric wave patterns and large-scale wildfires in boreal summer

    Open AccessTeppei J Yasunari, Hisashi Nakamura et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Long-term assessment of severe wildfires and associated air pollution and related climate patterns in and around the Arctic is essential for assessing healthy human life status. To examine the relationships, we analyzed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) modern-era retrospective analysis for research and applications, version 2 (MERRA-2). Our investigation based on this state-of-the-art atmospheric reanalysis data reveals th…

  • The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (Merra-2)

    Open AccessRonald Gelaro, Will McCarty et al.ARTICLEJournal of Climate2017

    The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2), is the latest atmospheric reanalysis of the modern satellite era produced by NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO). MERRA-2 assimilates observation types not available to its predecessor, MERRA, and includes updates to the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model and analysis scheme so as to provide a viable ongoing climate analysis beyond…

  • Sensitivity of mesoscale modeling of smoke direct radiative effect to the emission inventory: A case study in northern sub-Saharan African region

    Open AccessFeng Zhang, Jun Wang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    An ensemble approach is used to examine the sensitivity of smoke loading and smoke direct radiative effect in the atmosphere to uncertainties in smoke emission estimates. Seven different fire emission inventories are applied independently to WRF-Chem model (v3.5) with the same model configuration (excluding dust and other emission sources) over the northern sub-Saharan African (NSSA) biomass-burning region. Results for November and February 2010 …

  • Merra: Nasa’s Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications

    Michele M Rienecker, Max J Suárez et al.ARTICLEJournal of Climate2011

    The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) was undertaken by NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office with two primary objectives: to place observations from NASA’s Earth Observing System satellites into a climate context and to improve upon the hydrologic cycle represented in earlier generations of reanalyses. Focusing on the satellite era, from 1979 to the present, MERRA has achieved its goals with signifi…
