Satellite observations of aerosol and precursor gas distribution in Madagascar

Aerosol and precursor gas distributions in Madagascar's Rainforests of the Atsinanana exhibit distinct fire radiative power (FRP) patterns, with savannah/grassland fires showing low FRP (<10 MW) compared to rainforest fires (>100 MW). This study leverages satellite observations to analyze spatio-temporal variations in nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), formaldehyde (HCHO), and carbon monoxide (CO), linking them to fire phases and fuel types. The research provides critical insights into the atmospheric impacts of wildfires, which are essential for understanding regional air quality dynamics.
