January to March 2016 atmospheric data related to fires in Southeast and South Asia. The dataset includes processed satellite measurements from MODIS, MOPITT, and OMI instruments, as well as modeled fields from WRF simulations. It was compiled by Jason Blake Cohen.
Use Cases
- Analyzing aerosol optical depth (AOD) trends based on MODIS 3K measurements after cloud clearing.
- Studying black carbon (BC) column transport based on modeled daily time series from EOF and hotspot cases.
- Investigating carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations at 700mb based on daily MOPITT data.
- Examining nitrogen dioxide (NO2) spatial-temporal patterns based on EOFs and principal components.
- Running or validating WRF atmospheric model simulations based on provided emissions files for EOF and hotspot cases.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific, defined time period from January 1st to March 31st, 2016.
- Includes data from multiple authoritative satellite sources: MODIS, MOPITT, and OMI.
- Files represent processed data after cloud clearing, quality control, and specific model domain application.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to the specific fire event and satellite coverage.
