We have quantified the relationship between Aerosol Index (AI) measurementsand plume height for young biomass burning plumes using coincident OzoneMonitoring Instrument (OMI) and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared PathfinderSatellite Observations (CALIPSO) measurements. This linear relationshipallows the determination of high-altitude plumes wherever AI data areavailable, and it provides a data set for validating global fire plumeheights in chemistry transport models. We find that all plumes detected fromJune 2006 to February 2009 with an AI value ≥9 are located ataltitudes higher than 5 km. Older high-altitude plumes have lower AI valuesthan young plumes at similar altitudes. We have examined available AI datafrom the OMI and TOMS instruments (1978–2009) and find that large AIplumes occur more frequently over North America than over Australia orRussia/Northeast Asia. According to the derived relationship, during thistime interval, 181 plumes, in various stages of their evolution, reachedaltitudes above 8 km
