Background
• Over the past two decades, fires and haze in the ASEAN region have been influenced by rapid demographic changes, increased human acHvity, and climatological factors.
• Singapore has been affected by severe smoke haze due to forest fires in the region periodically.
• Usually, smoke haze affected Singapore in Sep and Oct.

Low level prevail wind
• Two tropical storms in the SCS on 17-‐23 June, strengthened the westerly winds.
• A tropical storm in the SCS landed over Hanoi, winds over SG shided from SSW to SSE on 24 June. This direcHon shid miHgates polluHon in Singapore, but exacerbates in South P Malaysia.

Burning materials • A new mapping tool based on NASA satellite data confirms
that the majority of fires that drove the haze over Sumatra and Malaysia were concentrated in deforested peatlands and scrub, rather than natural forest areas.
• World Resources InsHtute (WRI) and Eyes on the Forest, a Sumatra-‐based coaliHon of environmental groups. WRI data indicates that roughly half of hotspots recorded during the peak of the haze case were located in concessions belonging to palm oil and pulp/paper companies.
• Unlike the major fires in the region in 1982-‐1983, 1997-‐1998 and 2006, few fires were located in natural forest areas.

Summary and quesHons Consider 3 direcHons to improve haze simulaHon. 1) Large scale meteorological circulaHon. Not
sensiHve to FNL/GFS, but may be improved by cycling, rather than a long Hme integraHon.
2) How to esHmate the emissions of burning peatland and scrub-‐field experiments?
3) how to uHlize available satellite observaHons, not only fire locaHon, but also, fire size, Fire RadiaHve Power, materials…
4) When cloud covers the target area, how to monitor the hotspot locaHon?
