Virtual Biomass Burning Experiment (VBBE)

Image representing the MISR project.

Virtual Biomass Burning Experiment (VBBE) is an aerosol experiment taking place in south east Asia between August 1 and September 9, 2007.

The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) team defines the VBBE region by the lat/lon coordinates 20N - 10S, 92E - 120E which corresponds to MISR Paths 113 - 136 and Blocks 73 - 99.
