Ma, C., Su, H., Lelieveld, J., Randel, W., Yu, P., et al. (2024). Smoke-charged vortex doubles hemispheric aerosol in the middle stratosphere and buffers ozone depletion. Science Advances, doi:https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adn3657 Australian mega-wildfires in the summer of 2019-2020 injected smoke into the stratosphere, causing strong ozone depletion in the lower stratosphere. Here, we model the smoke plume and reproduce its unexpected trajectory toward the middle st... ACOM Affiliations: ACRESP Publication Genre: Article View on OpenSky |
