AB: During the summer of 2004 large wildfires were burning in Alaska and western Canada, and part of the emissions were transported towards the northeast United States, where they were observed during the NEAQS-ITCT 2k4 (New England Air Quality Study - Intercontinental Transport and Chemical Transformation) study. Using acetonitrile and chloroform as tracers, the biomass burning and anthropogenic fractions of the carbon monoxide (CO) enhancement are determined. As much as 30% of the measured enhancement is attributed to the forest fires in Alaska and western Canada and 70% to the urban emissions of mainly New York City and Boston. On some days the forest fire emissions were mixed down to the surface and dominated the CO enhancement. The results compare well with those from the FLEXPART transport model, and indicate that the total emissions during the measurement campaign for biomass burning might be as high as 50 Tg.
