SPACE OBSERVATIONS OF LARGE-SCALE BIOMASS BURNING AND TROPOSPHERIC SMOKE PALLS IN THE AMAZON BASIN, 1973-1988 Kamlesh P. Lulla and Michael R. Helfert Space Shuttle Earth Observations Office Code SN15 NASA/Johnson Space Center Houston, Texas 77058 USA ABSTRACT Photography taken by the astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle and Skylab missions has documented the presence, increasing frequency, areal shift, and areal growth of large-scale smoke palls in the lower troposphere of the Amazon Basin from 1973 through 1988. 520 photographs taken over this 16-year period have been used to map changes in the geographic location and size of these Amazon smoke palls. In the early period (Skylab-3,1973), these smoke palls appear to be primarily associated with agricultural field preparations in Southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Northern Argentina. By the middle and late 1980’s the geographic focus of these smoke palls had migrated north and northwest approximately 15° of latitude, and was more typically associated with large-scale forest clearing. The forest clearing of the middle-late 1980’s is primarily associated with the establishment of road grids and agricultural colonies in the western Brazilian States of Acre, Amazonas, and Rondonia. Smoke palls areas in the annual Amazon dry-seasons (July-October) have increased from approximately 300,000 sq km in 1973 to approximately 3,000,000 sq km in 1985 and 1988. 692
