Inventories of Global Trace gas emissions through Biomass Burning. We created eight global CO2 emission inventories through fires by combining input data sources, which were 2-land cover maps (MCD12Q1 and GLC2000), 2-above ground biomass (GEOCARBON global forest biomass (Wargeningen University) and Globbiomass AGB maps (European Space Agency (ESA))), and 2-confidencial level of burned area (Low and middle confidence of MOD14A1) (Shiraishi et al., 2021). Data were validated by comparing CO concentrations calculated by foward model using 8-emission data and observed CO concentrations, and we found that CO from combination of GLC2000, Globbiomass AGB map and low confidencial burned are close to observed one (Saito et al., 2022). We provide CO2/CO/CH4 emissions calculated using this combination data. The spatial resolution of the data are 1km and 1deg.

Time resolution
1 month
Spatial resolution
1 x 1 km, 1 x 1 deg
Calculation method
Biomass burning emissions were estimated using land cover map from the Global Land Cover 2000 project, aboveground biomass data from Globbiomass (ESA), and a burned area from MOD14A1 low confidence (Shiraishi et al., 2021, Saito et al., 2022).
