Pyrocumulonimbus Firepower Threshold: Assessing the Atmospheric Potential for pyroCb

K. J. Tory et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the concept of the minimum firepower required to generate pyroCb in a given atmospheric environment, instead of trying to anticipate temperature and moisture increments for a specific fire. A simple approach is presented to calculate this minimum firepower, offering important insights into plume behavior and pyroCb formation.

OMPS LP Version 2.0 multi-wavelength aerosol extinction coefficient retrieval algorithm

Ghassan Taha et al.

Summary: The OMPS Limb Profiler instrument aims to provide high-vertical-resolution ozone and aerosol profiles, allowing for detection and tracking of events where aerosol particles are injected into the stratosphere. The newly released Version 2.0 algorithm shows significant improvements in performance, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere and at lower altitudes, due to the use of longer wavelengths.

Stratospheric aerosol layer perturbation caused by the 2019 Raikoke and Ulawun eruptions and their radiative forcing

Corinna Kloss et al.

Summary: In June 2019, a stratospheric eruption at Raikoke resulted in increased stratospheric aerosol optical depth (sAOD) values in the Northern Hemisphere and tropics for over a year. The eruption also affected the atmospheric radiative forcing. In comparison to other volcanic events and wildfires, the Raikoke eruption had the highest sAOD and radiative forcing values.
