GFED5 gridded files

NetCDF4 files with gridded estimates of burned area and emissions can be downloaded via SFTP, please find login details here. In the GFED5 directory there are four subdirectories:

• The GFED5.1 directory contains data for the 1997-2022 period.
• The GFED5.1ext_Beta directory contains data for 2023 until last year. Note that this data is still a Beta version and subject to change.
• The GFED5.1ext_NRT_Beta directory contains data for the current year, updated daily. Note that this data is still a Beta version and subject to change.
• The Ancillary directory contains summary tables and several input datasets as well as code used to produce datasets and graphs in GFED5 publications.

Trace gas and aerosol specied include carbon (C), dry matter (DM), CO2, CO, CH4, NMOC (gaseous), H2, NOx (as NO), N2O, PM2.5, TPC, OC, BC, SO2, NH3, C2H6, CH3OH, C2H5OH, C3H8, C2H2, C2H4, C3H6, C5H8, C10H16, C7H8, C6H6, C8H10, Toluene lump, Higher alkenes, Higher alkanes, CH2O, C2H4O, C3H6O, C2H6S, HCN, HCOOH, CH3COOH, MEK, CH3COCHO, HOCH2CHO. Other species can be computed on request.

Summary Tables

Summary tables for global and regional emission estimates for the 1997-2024 period are available here. The regional estimates are based on 14 basis regions shown below, with the abbreviations used in the tables.
