The Regional hourly Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Emissions (RAVE) algorithm operationally generates biomass burning (fire) emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), total particulate matter (TPM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), organic carbon (OC), black carbon (BC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3 ), methane (CH4) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for every hour each day. Additionally, hourly mean fire radiative power (FRP), hourly fire radiative energy (FRE), and dry mass (DM) consumed are also provided. RAVE was produced in response to the National Weather Service (NWS) Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) request for fire detections, fire radiative power, and hourly emissions for EMC regional air quality forecast models. The product files are in netCDF-4 format and the North American domain of interest is 3.5 deg N to 81.8 deg N and 144.96 deg E to 27.84 deg W. The product has a latency of one hour, a refresh rate of one hour, and the two spatial resolutions are 3 km and 13 km.
