Numerous #wildfires across Canada and easter Russia and generating huge amounts of thick smoke which is being transported thousands of kilometres, including to the high #Arctic in the #CopernicusAtmosphere 5-day aerosol optical depth forecast initialized 16 July 00 UTC https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/cams-global-atmospheric-composition-forecasts?tab=overview
#SaharanDust transport episode predicted across the Iberian Peninsula, France and on to northern & central Europe over the coming few days in the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service aerosol optical depth forecast initialized 19 February at 00 UTC.

Continuing #wildfires in #Chile with impressive extent of smoke over the Pacific ocean in the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service aerosol optical depth forecast initialized 7 February 00 UTC. Change in winds towards South Atlantic also coming in the next few days.
More information on CAMS monitoring of these fires was published today on our website at https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/wildfires-ravage-chile-cams-monitors-situation

Sheer intensity of the many #wildfires in Chile reflected in #CopernicusAtmosphere #ECMWF Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS) fire radiative power (FRP), based on MODIS🛰️ obs. Highest intensity fires in Araucania and Biobio where daily total FRP has been much greater than 2003-2022 mean, leading to the highest estimated Jan-Feb emissions (carbon shown but similar for aerosols) in the GFAS dataset (only up to 4 Feb in 2023!)

Incredibly high intensity of the devastating #wildfires in Chile🇨🇱 producing thick smoke plumes which are heading out over the Pacific Ocean as shown in the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service #ECMWF 5-day forecast of total aerosol optical depth initialized on 5 February at 00 UTC. Noting also smoke from increasing number of early season fires in Colombia🇨🇴 further north.

Global #WildFires #OpenBurning intensity & emissions for January 2023 in the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service #ECMWF GFAS data https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/CAMS%3A+Global+Fire+Assimilation+System+%28GFAS%29+data+documentation. Notable fires in Mexico & S America, with peak fire season in N tropical Africa. 2nd lowest January total emissions since 2003. Hotspots across W Canada during Jan related more to gas/oil extraction activities rather than fires.
