Black Summer and Pyrocumulonimbus clouds

Pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) clouds are thunderstorms that occasionally form above intense bushfire and transport smoke into the stratosphere

"PyroCb events are important sources of stratospheric aerosol. During the Australian forest fires in 2019/2020, such convective plumes transported quantities of smoke into the tropopause region comparable to those of a large volcanic eruption. In this study, we investigate the heat emission threshold at which wildfire plumes transition into pyroCbs."

About that ozone hole..

Doesn't seem to be healing very fast - not due to #CFCs necessarily but a quirk of the #Climate system means a colder #Stratosphere - which is delaying things.
Really good piece from my colleagues at DMI on it (in danish but DeepL works really well for translation):

This is the "Vacuum Monster" a balloon-borne instrument to collect #interplanetary dust particles in the #stratosphere

It was developed in the 70s by Dr. Donald #Brownlee at Washington University and named after the creature in the #Beatles movie Yellow Submarine that sucked up everything.

It consisted basically of an air pump that pulled air through an array of cylindrical collection rods. Particles are collected on the oil-coated rods by inertial deposition.

Models indicate that #VHABFs *🎈 are very susceptible to changes in #SpaceWeather ☢️, during stronger #GLE events**. This is largely due to their long cruise time at high altitude. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468896723000289
