Short summary
Satellite methods allow biomass burning emissions to be accurately quantified with high spatial and temporal resolution. With that ultimate goal, we analyze satellite retrievals of carbon monoxide from the MOPITT instrument over the Amazon Basin. Validation results for four Amazonian sites indicate a significant negative bias in retrieved lower-tropospheric CO concentrations. The interannual variability of biomass burning emissions from 2000 to 2015 is also studied using the MOPITT record.
