Open fires in Greenland in summer 2017: transport, deposition and radiative effects of BC, OC and BrC emissions

Highly unusual open fires burned in western Greenland between 31 July and 21 August 2017, after a period of warm, dry and sunny weather. The fires burned on peatlands that became vulnerable to fires by permafrost thawing. We used several satellite data sets to estimate that the total area burned was...
