Data Used:
Global Fire Emissions Database, Version 4.1 also referred to as: GFED4s
Data Compilation
This fourth version of the Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED4s) provides monthly burned area, fire carbon (C) and dry matter (DM) emissions, and the contribution of different fire types to these emissions in order to calculate trace gas and aerosol emissions using emission factors.
Note: While we identify the data sets used in these visualizations, we do not store any further details nor the data sets themselves on our site.
