Smoke from the Black Summer wildfires in Australia impacted climate, high-altitude winds of the Southern Hemisphere
The 2019/20 wildfires in Australia transported more smoke into the atmosphere than observed ever before anywhere in the world. In the so-called Black Summer, three times as many particles reached high air layers as in the ...
