FireMIP: Historical Global Fire Emissions from 34 Species, 1700–2012

34 species of fire emissions data from the Fire Modeling Intercomparison Project (FireMIP) covering the years 1700 to 2012. The dataset contains multi-model estimates of global fire emissions for elements, compounds, and classes of compounds. It was authored by Fang Li of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and published in 2019.

Use Cases

• Calibrating and validating global fire emission models based on the multi-model intercomparison framework.
• Analyzing long-term trends in atmospheric composition based on historical fire emissions for 34 species.
• Studying the impact of historical fires on climate and carbon cycles based on the global, multi-century coverage.

Strengths

• Covers a long historical time range from 1700 to 2012.
• Includes emissions estimates for 34 distinct chemical species.
• Provides multi-model estimates from an intercomparison project, likely offering ensemble perspectives.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
