Amazon forests green-up in dry years, how about tropical Asia? Awesome study led by @SatriawanTin showed strong green-up of SE Asia during the 2015/16 El Niño, with likely different reasons for continental and maritime SE Asia. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
We also used geostationary obs for a double check! w/ @kazuhito_ichii, @jackie_x7, Juneng and Masa!
@xiangzLuo @SatriawanTin @SatriawanTin @xiangzLuo What a great work! Congrats Tin and Remi!
@xiangzLuo @SatriawanTin Congratulations to you both! This is fascinating. I wonder if this greening up has carbon consequences. Junjie Liu and coworkers' OCO-2 results show that SE Asia became a large carbon source during 2015/16 El Niño due to increased peatland fire activity: science.org/doi/full/10.11…
