As of June 26, the annual emissions from the fires are now the largest for Canada since satellite monitoring began in 2003, surpassing 2014 at 140 million tonnes. "The difference is eastern Canada fires driving this growth in the emissions more than just western Canada," said Copernicus ...
Now, the plume has crossed the North Atlantic. Worsening fires in Quebec and Ontario will likely make for hazy skies and deep orange sunsets in Europe this week, Parrington said. However, because the smoke is predicted to stay higher in the atmosphere...
The jet stream is the upper-level ribbon of winds that direct our storm systems, working to separate our cold and warm air. But, it can also transport smoke from wildfires. Over the last five days, the jet stream has carried particulate matter from fire...
We saw weeks ago the sky of New York City which was hazy with smoke and at one point had the lowest air quality in the entire country. Tommy Carroll/TSM As you can see from my office photo of downtown Grand Rapids, it would be a clear day if it were not for the smoke from the ...
This Canadian crisis has not been limited to the Great North. Smoke fromthe fireshas spread across large portions of the U.S., affectingair qualityfor millions as the fires rage on without signs of stopping. Dramaticphotos of the hazethat covered major American cities show the toll the smoke...

EPIC's near‐hourly observations of the Earth's sunlit disk allowed for monitoring the smoke plume several times per day. High ultraviolet aerosol index values pointed to the presence of an aerosol layer in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, confirmed with Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar with ...
The PACs associated with fine particles including petcoke, bitumen dust, and smoke from forest fires are local and regional concerns as they can be transported hundreds of kilometres before deposition. Canada's aluminum sector is another example where potential impacts of PAC emissions to localized ...
