                         in South America based on a combination of remote-sensing fire 
                         products and field observations, the Brazilian Biomass Burning 
                         Emission Model (3BEM). For each fire pixel detected by remote 
                         sensing, the mass of the emitted tracer is calculated based on 
                         field observations of fire properties related to the type of 
                         vegetation burning. The burnt area is estimated from the 
                         instantaneous fire size retrieved by remote sensing, when 
                         available, or from statistical properties of the burn scars. The 
                         sources are then spatially and temporally distributed and 
                         assimilated daily by the Coupled Aerosol and Tracer Transport 
                         model to the Brazilian developments on the Regional Atmospheric 
                         Modeling System (CATT-BRAMS) in order to perform the prognosis of 
                         related tracer concentrations. Three other biomass burning 
                         inventories, including GFEDv2 and EDGAR, are simultaneously used 
                         to compare the emission strength in terms of the resultant tracer 
                         distribution. We also assess the effect of using the daily time 
                         resolution of fire emissions by including runs with 
                         monthly-averaged emissions. We evaluate the performance of the 
                         model using the different emission estimation techniques by 
                         comparing the model results with direct measurements of carbon 
                         monoxide both near-surface and airborne, as well as remote sensing 
                         derived products. The model results obtained using the 3BEM 
                         methodology of estimation introduced in this paper show relatively 
                         good agreement with the direct measurements and MOPITT data 
                         product, suggesting the reliability of the model at local to 
                         regional scales.",
