E i = FRE x CF x EF i (Wooster et al. 24) E i = BA x AFL x CC x EF i (Seiler & Crutzen 198) burnt biomass (dynamic) vegetation model most established, in particular GFED (van der Werf et al. 26): MACC retrospective Ei = emission of species i [kg(species i)] BA = burnt area [m2] AFL = available fuel load [kg(biomass) / m2] CC = combustion completeness [kg(burnt fuel) / kg (available fuel)] EFi = emission factor for species i [kg(species i) / kg(biomass)] FRP = fire radiative power [W] FRE = fire radiative energy [J] = FRP(t) dt ~ const.
