Relationships of Biomass-Burning Aerosols to Ice in Orographic Wave Clouds [PDF]
Ice concentrations in orographic wave clouds at temperatures between −24° and −29°C were shown to be related to aerosol characteristics in nearby clear air during five research flights over the Rocky Mountains.

Injection heights of springtime biomass-burning plumes over peninsular Southeast Asia and their impacts on long-range pollutant transport [PDF]
We analyzed observations from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) to determine the injection heights of biomass-burning smoke plumes over peninsular Southeast Asia (PSEA, here defined as Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar) in the

A biomass burning source of C1- C4alkyl nitrates [PDF]
We report the first observations of the emission of five C1-C4alkyl nitrates (methyl-, ethyl-, n-propyl-, i-propyl-, and 2-butyl nitrate) from savanna burning.

Sensitivity of tropospheric loads and lifetimes of short lived pollutants to fire emissions [PDF]
The capability of global chemistry and transport models (CTMs) to simulate atmospheric composition and its spatial and temporal changes highly relies on the input data used by the models, in particular the emission inventories.

Impacts of biomass burning in Southeast Asia on ozone and reactive nitrogen over the western Pacific in spring [PDF]
Aircraft measurements of ozone (O3) and its precursors (reactive nitrogen, CO, nonmethane hydrocarbons) were made over the western Pacific during the Transport and Chemical Evolution Over the Pacific (TRACE-P) campaign, which was conducted during ...

Biomass burning and urban air pollution over the Central Mexican Plateau [PDF]
Observations during the 2006 dry season of highly elevated concentrations of cyanides in the atmosphere above Mexico City (MC) and the surrounding plains demonstrate that biomass burning (BB) significantly impacted air quality in the region. We find that

A major regional air pollution event in the northeastern United States caused by extensive forest fires in Quebec, Canada [PDF]
During early July 2002, wildfires burned ∼1 × 106 ha of forest in Quebec, Canada. The resultant smoke plume was seen in satellite images blanketing the U.S. east coast.
