| description |
The SAFIRED (Savannah Fires in the Early Dry Season) campaign took place from
29 May until 30 June 2014 at the Australian
Tropical Atmospheric Research Station (ATARS) in the Northern Territory,
Australia. The purpose of this campaign was to investigate emissions from
fires in the early dry season in northern Australia. Measurements were made
of biomass burning aerosols, volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic
carbons, greenhouse gases, radon, speciated atmospheric mercury and trace
metals. Aspects of the biomass burning aerosol emissions investigated
included; emission factors of various species, physical and chemical aerosol
properties, aerosol aging, micronutrient supply to the ocean, nucleation, and
aerosol water uptake. Over the course of the month-long campaign, biomass
burning signals were prevalent and emissions from several large single
burning events were observed at ATARS.<br><br>Biomass burning emissions dominated the gas and aerosol concentrations in
this region. Dry season fires are extremely frequent and widespread across
the northern region of Australia, which suggests that the measured aerosol
and gaseous emissions at ATARS are likely representative of signals across
the entire region of north Australia. Air mass forward trajectories show
that these biomass burning emissions are carried north-west over the Timor
Sea and could influence the atmosphere over Indonesia and the tropical
atmosphere over the Indian Ocean. Here we present characteristics of the
biomass burning observed at the sampling site and provide an overview of the
more specific outcomes of the SAFIRED campaign. |
