Interactions Between Biomass Burning and Climate: Conclusions Drawn from the Workshop

Abstract

An international workshop with the title: “Biomass burning and its inter-relationships with the climate system” was held in Wengen, Switzerland, from 28 September to 2 October 1998. The workshop was attended by some 50 scientists from 12 countries. It was co-sponsored by the University of Fribourg, ENAMORS (the European Network for the development of Advanced Models to interpret Optical Remote Sensing data), the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research.
