Fig. 3: Comparison of African fire CH4 emissions derived from different model frameworks.
From: Enhanced CH4 emissions from global wildfires likely due to undetected small fires
Monthly variations in fire CH4 emission estimates based on CO estimates (black bar), FireCCISFD11-based burned areas under the M-500m (red bar) and GFED v4.1 s (pink bar) frameworks, M-500m (dark green bar), and GFED v4.1 s (light green bar) compared for the (a) northern and (b) southern hemispheres of sub-Saharan Africa in 2016. c Differences between fire CH4 emission estimates based on FireCCISFD11-based burned areas (GFED v4.1 s framework) and GFEDv4.1 s, CO-based and GFED v4.1 s, and burned areas FireCCISFD11 and GFED v4.1 s, shown by latitude band. d Differences between fire CH4 emission estimates based on FireCCISFD11-based burned areas (M-500m framework) and M-500m, CO-based and M-500m, and burned areas FireCCISFD11 and M-500m, shown by latitude band. e Fractions of different land cover types over the burned area within corresponding latitudinal regions.
