Wildfire-Driven Thunderstorms Cause a Volcano-Like Stratospheric Injection of Smoke
October 23, 2018 11:00 am
CIRA Directors Conference Room
Presented by: David A. Peterson
Hosted by: James R. Campbell, Edward J. Hyer, Michael D. Fromm, George P. Kablick, Joshua H. Cossuth, Matthew T. DeLand
Naval Research Laboratory
Intense heating by wildfires can generate a deep, smoke-infused thunderstorm, known as pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb). This extreme weather phenomenon can release a large quantity of smoke particles into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The meteorology driving pyroCb occurrence, combined with increasingly active fire seasons, indicates that pyroCb are a significant… Read more »
