NASA Campaign Studies Wildfire-Generated Clouds
Original: NASA Campaign Explores Clouds Spawned by Wildfires https://science.nasa.gov/earth/natural-disasters/wildfires/nasa-campa
NASA is running a research campaign examining fire-generated clouds, the towering plumes that wildfires can push into the atmosphere. These so-called pyrocumulonimbus clouds can loft smoke high into the stratosphere, affecting weather and climate far from the fire itself. The campaign aims to better understand how these clouds form and what impact they have on Earth's systems as wildfire activity intensifies.
Why now: Wildfires are increasingly frequent and severe, drawing attention to research on their atmospheric effects.
