In this publication, we describe the global fire assimilation
system GFASv1.0, present an update to the emission factor
compilation by Andreae and Merlet (2001), and compare the
resulting emissions to those of the GFED3.1 inventory (van
der Werf et al., 2010). We also test the emissions of aerosols
with the MACC aerosol assimilation system (Benedetti et al.,
2009) and evaluate its performance during the Russian fires
of July–August 2010.
