The Australian bushfires around the turn of the year 2020 generated an unprecedented
perturbation of stratospheric composition, dynamical circulation and radiative balance. Here …

In 2017, western Canadian wildfires injected smoke into the stratosphere that was
detectable by satellites for more than 8 months. The smoke plume rose from 12 to 23 …

Large wildfires inject smoke and biomass-burning products into the mid-latitude
stratosphere, where they destroy ozone, which protects us from ultraviolet radiation. The …

Fires in southeastern Australia produced at least 18 pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) between
29 December 2019 and 4 January 2020. The largest plumes from this event exhibited …

Australian wildfires burning from December 2019 to January 2020 injected approximately
0.9 Tg of smoke into the stratosphere; this is the largest amount observed in the satellite era …

We present spectrally resolved optical and microphysical properties of western Canadian
wildfire smoke observed in a tropospheric layer from 5–6.5 km height and in a stratospheric …

Current nuclear arsenals used in a war between the United States and Russia could inject
150 Tg of soot from fires ignited by nuclear explosions into the upper troposphere and lower …

Light extinction coefficients of 500 Mm-1, about 20 times higher than after the Pinatubo
volcanic eruptions in 1991, were observed by European Aerosol Research Lidar Network …

Six months of stratospheric aerosol observations with the European Aerosol Research Lidar
