This dataset contains fire emissions from Equatorial Asia for the years 2004, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2014 and 2015. The data is based on the Fire Inventory from National Center for Atmospheric Research with the addition of emissions from Indonesian peat fires, which contribute substantially to fire emissions in the region. The files for each year contain daily information on the area burned and emissions of several species, including CO, CO2 and PM2.5. Data is given for individual fires at 1km resolution.

Fire emissions are provided for each year both for fires as measured, and under a scenario where degraded peatland in the region has been partially restored, reducing fire emissions.

Provenance & quality

The fire emissions are based on the Fire Inventory from National Center for Atmospheric Research with emissions from peat fires included. Peat fire emissions data were created by combining burned area, burn depth and emissions factors, taken from publicly available remote sensing data and published field measurements specific for Indonesian peat fires.

The peatland restoration scenario has been applied by reducing fire in peatlands to match the reduction seen in National Parks.

Please see the supporting document for further detail on the fire emissions data with and without peatland restoration.
