Figure 2 - Biomass burning fuel consumption dynamics in the tropics and subtropics assessed from satellite
Comparison of fuel consumption (FC) estimates derived by combining FRP and burned-area data. (a) Fuel consumption derived using SEVIRI FRP data. (b) Correlation between fuel consumption estimates based on the SEVIRI and MODIS FRP data. (c) Fuel consumption derived using MODIS FRP data. (d) MODIS-based fuel consumption estimates as a percentage of the SEVIRI-based estimates. For comparison both SEVIRI-and MODIS-based estimates are shown for the same period (2010–2014) and the MODIS FRE data are uncorrected (see Sect. 4.2). Note that on average MODIS-derived FC is about twice as large as SEVIRI-derived FC. Grid cells with dominant land cover " forest " or " bare or sparsely vegetated " were excluded from our analysis and are masked grey, while water and grid cells with less than 50 MODIS FRP detections are shown in white in all figures.
