Documents, science links and
references
Here are some links to my own documents and to some biomass burning
groups and projects around the world. I browse the web at my own pace and
so this list is not exhaustive. If you find other sites on the subject, please
email me the web address.

SAFARI 2000 is an international
regional science initiative being developed for Southern Africa to explore,
study and address linkages between land-atmosphere processes and the relationship
of biogenic, pyrogenic or anthropogenic emissions and the consequences of
their deposition to the functioning of the biogeophysical and biogeochemical
systems of southern Africa.

Sulfates, Clouds And
Radiation - Atlantic (SCAR-A). The primary objective of SCAR-A, conducted
during Summer 1993, is to help scientists characterize the relationship between
sulfate particles and clouds, thereby gaining a better understanding of how
sulfates affect clouds' reflective properties.
-
Smoke, Clouds And
Radiation - Brazil (SCAR-B). The SCAR-B experiment, completed in September
1995, studies the effects of biomass burning on atmospheric processes and
aids in the preparation of new techniques for remote sensing of these processes
from space.
-
Smoke, Clouds And
Radiation - California (SCAR-C). The SCAR-C field experiment, conducted
in fall of 1994, utilized airborne instrument platforms to collect scientific
information on the characteristics of smoke produced through biomass burning,
to study the interaction of smoke aerosol with clouds, and to validate
atmospheric correction algorithms.

The MODIS Airborne Simulator
(MAS) is an airborne scanning spectrometer that acquires high spatial
resolution imagery of cloud and surface features from its vantage point on-board
a NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft.
