Redistribution of carbon monoxide in central africa during biomass burning events (expresso experiment)

摘要

Tropical biome exhibits some of the most dynamic, yet most poorly understood on the earth. The half of the world's savanna biomass is located in Africa (Andreae, 1991). The savanna fires are estimated to contribute about 50 - 67percent of tropical biomass fire emissions (Hao and Liu, 1994). The CO emissions from savanna fires are about 30percent of the release from industrial sources (WMO, 1995).
