Global fire emissions and the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural, and peat fires (1997-2009)
- G. Werf, J. Randerson, T. V. Leeuwen
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2010
Abstract. New burned area datasets and top-down constraints from atmospheric concentration measurements of pyrogenic gases have decreased the large uncertainty in fire emissions estimates. However,…

A Revised Land Surface Parameterization (SiB2) for Atmospheric GCMS. Part I: Model Formulation
- P. Sellers, D. Randall, L. Bounoua
- Environmental Science
- 1 April 1996
Abstract The formulation of a revised land surface parameterization for use within atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) is presented. The model (SiB2) incorporates several significant…
A Revised Land Surface Parameterization (SiB2) for Atmospheric GCMS. Part II: The Generation of Global Fields of Terrestrial Biophysical Parameters from Satellite Data
- P. Sellers, C. Tucker, D. Randall
- Environmental Science, Mathematics
- 1 April 1996
Abstract The global parameter fields used in the revised Simple Biosphere Model (SiB2) of Sellers et al. are reviewed. The most important innovation over the earlier SiB1 parameter set of Dorman and…
Interannual variability in global biomass burning emissions from 1997 to 2004
- G. Werf, J. Randerson, L. Giglio, G. Collatz, P. Kasibhatla, A. Arellano
- Environmental Science
- 21 August 2006
Biomass burning represents an important source of atmospheric aerosols and greenhouse gases, yet little is known about its interannual variability or the underlying mechanisms regulating this…
Global fire emissions estimates during 1997–2016
- G. Werf, J. Randerson, P. Kasibhatla
- Environmental Science
- 12 September 2017
Abstract. Climate, land use, and other anthropogenic and natural drivers have the potential to influence fire dynamics in many regions. To develop a mechanistic understanding of the changing role of…
Coupled Photosynthesis-Stomatal Conductance Model for Leaves of C4 Plants
- G. Collatz, M. Ribas-Carbó, J. Berry
- Environmental Science
- 1992
A simple model for predicting An and g from leaves of C4 plants that is easily parameterised and that predicts many of the important environmental responses is developed and shown to be highly correlated with the data.
Assessing variability and long-term trends in burned area by merging multiple satellite fire products
- L. Giglio, J. Randerson, R. DeFries
- Environmental Science, Mathematics
- 1 December 2009
Abstract. Long term, high quality estimates of burned area are needed for improving both prognostic and diagnostic fire emissions models and for assessing feedbacks between fire and the climate…
Global estimation of burned area using MODIS active fire observations
- L. Giglio, G. Werf, J. Randerson, G. Collatz, P. Kasibhatla
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2005
We present a method for estimating monthly burned area globally at 1 spatial resolution using Terra MODIS data and ancillary vegetation cover information. Us- ing regression trees constructed for 14…
Modeling the Exchanges of Energy, Water, and Carbon Between Continents and the Atmosphere
- P. Sellers, R. Dickinson, A. Henderson‐sellers
- Environmental ScienceScience
- 24 January 1997
Modern schemes incorporate biogeochemical and ecological knowledge and, when coupled with advanced climate and ocean models, will be capable of modeling the biological and physical responses of the Earth system to global change, for example, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.
