GFED4s (Global Fire Emissions Database, Version 4.1)
ID: 1050This fourth version of the Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED4s) provides monthly burned area, fire carbon (C) and dry matter (DM) emissions, and the contribution of different fire types to these emissions in order to calculate trace gas and aerosol emissions using emission factors.

June 2019 Monthly Global Temperature Anomalies
Read moreWhile many people in the continuous United States saw average temperatures in the month of June 2019, the average global temperature in June was 1.71 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 59.9 degrees. This makes June 2019 the hottest June in the 140-year record. Nine of the 10 hottest Junes have occurred since 2010. Last month also was the 43rd consecutive June and 414th consecutive month with above-average global temperatures. This visual of the GISTEMP anomalies for June of 2019 show the United States and then zooms out to show the global picture. Temperature anomalies indicate how much warmer (red) or colder(blue) it is than normal for a particular place and time. For the GISS analysis, normal always means the average over the 30-year period 1951-1980 for that place and time of year. For more information on the GISTEMP, see the GISTEMP analysis website located at: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ ||

New NASA Campaign Tracks Wildfire Smoke for Improved Air Quality Forecasts Live Shots
Read moreB-roll for the following suggested questions:1. We all know NASA as a space agency. How can NASA’s unique perspective inform us about wildfires?2. NASA researchers are in the field right now tracking smoke from wildfires. What are they seeing from the air and ground?3. This June was the hottest June on record, with early data pointing to July being the warmest month on record. What impact has that had on this year’s fire season?4. When you think of wildfires, you usually associate that with the western part of the U.S. How can wildfires affect us throughout the world?5. How does a changing planet contribute to longer and hotter wildfires?6.
