东南亚的跨界烟霾事件与印度尼西亚的大型森林和泥炭地火灾有关。这些极端空气污染事件通常发生在太平洋(厄尔尼诺南方涛动)和印度洋(印度洋偶极)气候异常引起的干旱年份。然而,在2013年6月--一个非干旱的年份--新加坡的24小时污染物标准指数达到了创纪录的246(被评为“非常不健康”)。在这里,我们使用遥感,降雨记录和其他数据显示,2013年烟雾背后的印度尼西亚火灾是在一个比平均水平多雨的年份中经历了两个月的干旱期。这些火灾持续时间很短(一周),仅限于苏门答腊中部的局部地区(占印度尼西亚的1.6%):估计燃烧了163,336公顷,其中包括137,044公顷(84%)的泥炭。  大多数燃烧仅限于毁林土地(82%; 133,216公顷)。 在这一短暂的局部事件中,温室气体(GHG)排放量相当大:172 ± 59 Tg CO2-eq(或31 ± 12 Tg C),占印度尼西亚2000-2005年平均年GHG排放量的5-10%。  我们的观察表明,东南亚的极端空气污染事件不再局限于干旱年份。我们预计,由于印度尼西亚泥炭地的持续砍伐,重大雾霾事件将越来越频繁。
Trans-boundary haze events in Southeast Asia are associated with large forest and peatland fires in Indonesia. These episodes of extreme air pollution usually occur during drought years induced by climate anomalies from the Pacific (El Niño Southern Oscillation) and Indian Oceans (Indian Ocean Dipole). However, in June 2013 – a non-drought year – Singapore's 24-hr Pollutants Standards Index reached an all-time record 246 (rated “very unhealthy”). Here, we show using remote sensing, rainfall records and other data, that the Indonesian fires behind the 2013 haze followed a two-month dry spell in a wetter-than-average year. These fires were short-lived (one week) and limited to a localized area in Central Sumatra (1.6% of Indonesia): burning an estimated 163,336 ha, including 137,044 ha (84%) on peat. Most burning was confined to deforested lands (82%; 133,216 ha). The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during this brief, localized event were considerable: 172 ± 59 Tg CO2-eq (or 31 ± 12 Tg C), representing 5–10% of Indonesia's mean annual GHG emissions for 2000–2005. Our observations show that extreme air pollution episodes in Southeast Asia are no longer restricted to drought years. We expect major haze events to be increasingly frequent because of ongoing deforestation of Indonesian peatlands.
