Global #WildFires #OpenBurning intensity & emissions for January 2023 in the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service #ECMWF GFAS data https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/CAMS%3A+Global+Fire+Assimilation+System+%28GFAS%29+data+documentation. Notable fires in Mexico & S America, with peak fire season in N tropical Africa. 2nd lowest January total emissions since 2003. Hotspots across W Canada during Jan related more to gas/oil extraction activities rather than fires.

@m_parrington So you do not mask gas/oil extraction activities in all those hotspot maps and figures, is that right?

@jgpausas @wildfirescience there is masking of non-fire detections but is currently a bit out of date. We developed some new masks which we preparing to implement this year.
