A new perspective on the spatial, temporal, and vertical distribution of biomass burning: quantifying a significant increase in CO emissions

A variance-maximization approach based on 19 years of weekly measurements of pollution in the troposphere carbon monoxide (CO) measurements quantifies the spatial-temporal distribution of global biomass burning. Seven regions consistent with existing datasets are discovered and shown to burn for lon...
