Canada’s wildfire season begins
Wildfire season has arrived in full force in Canada, prompting evacuation orders and alerts in several towns in British Columbia and Alberta due to the danger of uncontrolled blazes.Hazardous smoke fr...

🌍 The plume didn’t stop there and continued across the North Mediterranean, reaching Italy, the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey. This image by Copernicus Sentinel-3 corresponds to May 18, and a clear plume can be observed covering the whole Island of Sicily.

🛰️ Satellite imagery tracks the aerosol plume back to central Canada (Manitoba) on May 13, coinciding with an intensification of wildfires in the area (earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15429...). The plume then crossed the Atlantic, reached the Canary Islands, and arrived over Europe by May 17.
Fires Erupt in North American Forests
Record heat and dry conditions helped stoke several large blazes in Manitoba, Ontario, and Minnesota.

Aerosol Optical Depth and Ångström Exponent measured by the Sun-photometer over Granada show a sharp increase in both aerosol load and AE values on May 17. This indicates a dominance of fine particles, likely from biomass burning given their abundance.

With the combination of #GRASS and #GRAINS (GRAnada Ice Nuclearing particle Spectrometer) we can study the INPs concentration in the #atmosphere.
Stay tuned for results!

For the first time at #SNS station, we are sampling ice nucleating particles (INPs) with the use of #GRASS (GRAnada Samplying System).
INPs trigger the formation of ice crystals in #clouds.
