Abstract:
Biomass burning is a distinct biogeochemical process and plays a major role in the global carbon cycle impacting both regional and global climate change. The extent of burning and the impact of these activities on the global environment are not well understood. Remote sensing offers the most cost effective means for long-term monitoring of associated aerosols. Broadband aerosol optical thickness (AOT) ranging from 550 nm to 900 nm derived using the multiresource Terra and Aqua MODIS data were used to analyze the affection of biomass burning for atmosphere The authors have collected of such typical straw of wheat burning events during May and June 2007 for the study.
