  abstract = {{A}im {T}his paper presents a new global burned area ({BA}) product developed within the framework of the {E}uropean {S}pace {A}gency's {C}limate {C}hange {I}nitiative ({CCI}) programme, along with a first assessment of its potentials for atmospheric and carbon cycle modelling. {I}nnovation {M}ethods are presented for generating a new global {BA} product, along with a comparison with existing {BA} products, in terms of {BA} extension, fire size and shapes and emissions derived from biomass burnings. {M}ain conclusions {T}hree years of the global {BA} product were produced, accounting for a total {BA} of between 360 and 380 {M}ha year(-1). {G}eneral omission and commission errors for {BA} were 0.76 and 0.64, but they decreased to 0.51 and 0.52, respectively, for sites with more than 10% {BA}. {I}ntercomparison with other existing {BA} datasets found similar spatial and temporal trends, mainly with the {BA} included in the {G}lobal {F}ire {E}missions {D}atabase ({GFED}4), although regional differences were found (particularly in the 2006 fires of eastern {E}urope). {T}he simulated carbon emissions from biomass burning averaged 2.1 {P}g {C} year(-1).},
