The sensitivity of CO and aerosol transport to the temporal and vertical distribution of North American boreal fire emissions

Forest fires in Alaska and western Canada represent important sources of aerosols and trace gases in North America. Among the largest uncertainties when modeling forest fire effects are the timing and injection height of biomass burning emissions. Here we simulate CO and aerosols over North America...
