a Annual organic carbon (OC) emissions based on GFED (https://www.globalfiredata.org)35. b Annual mean AOD at 550 nm from POLDER satellite observation (https://www.grasp-open.com)43. The boxes indicate the spatial coverage of the five key biomass burning regions focused on here. The dashed box shows the African outflow region of focus in this study. The embedded diagrams show the corresponding monthly total emissions (a) and mean AOD (b). The line colours in the embedded diagrams correspond to the boundaries in the maps.
