摘要: The 'Black Saturday' fires were a series of devastating forest that burned across Victoria, Australia, during February and March 2009. In this study we have used satellite data made publically available by NASA from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) to track smoke plume Black Saturday firestorm explore chemical aging in first days after emission. We also determined emission ratios for formaldehyde nitrogen dioxide within actively burning Victoria between 7 17 mean with respect carbon monoxide derived these two tropospheric ozone precursors are (0.016 ± 0.004 mol.mol −1 ) (0.005 0.002 dioxide. ratio CO is broad agreement values previously quoted literature temperate fires. However, our knowledge there no previous measurements Australian
