A Smoky May for North America

May 5 - 22, 2023
<https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/151000/151384/canadasmoke_geos5_20231142.mp4>

For remote sensing scientists who track the movement of smoke plumes,
May 2023 has been a wild, memorable month due to extreme fire activity
in northwestern Canada.

Early spring always brings elevated fire risk to Alberta,
Saskatchewan, and the northeastern edge of British Columbia--naturally
dry areas that lie in the rain shadow of the Canadian Rockies. There
is a period each year, after snow melts but before spring growth
begins, that dry forest undergrowth is exposed.

But in May 2023, this naturally fire-prone dry period coincided with
unusually hot and windy weather, turning what normally would have been
small, short-lived fires into huge wildland blazes that raged for
several weeks. The fires, ignited by lightning or human activity,
charred more than 1 million hectares (400 square miles) as of May 24,
and lofted smoke high into the atmosphere and across North America.

The animation above highlights the volume of smoke and its dynamic,
swirling movements between May 5-22, 2023. It shows black carbon
particles--commonly called soot--moving across North American skies
during that period. The black carbon data come from NASA's GEOS
forward processing (GEOS-FP) model, which assimilates data from
satellite, aircraft, and ground-based observing systems. In addition
to making use of satellite observations of aerosols and fires, GEOS-FP
also incorporates meteorological data like air temperature, moisture,
and winds to project the plume's behavior.

Over the course of the fire outbreak, large rivers of smoke traced
meanders in the jet stream, swirled into two separate extratropical
cyclones, and darkened skies across large swaths of North America for
weeks. Scientists even used satellites to track smoke injected high
into the atmosphere by Canadian wildfires early in the month as it
circled the entire globe.

"None of this is unprecedented," said Michael Fromm, a meteorologist
at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory who has observed the dynamics of
smoke plumes with colleagues from NOAA, NASA, and several other
science institutions for decades. "We have seen smoke from this region
behave like this in the past," he said. "But the amount of smoke is
unusual for this time of year."

Climate change does NOT cause 451°F temperatures, morons. So, it was dry... so
what? There's never been dry conditions in Quebec before?

Riiiiight.

=====

A lot of folks are asking us, where do these fires in Quebec come from? How did
they start so rapidly? And the answer, based on the data, is lightning.

So there were storms on June 1st. I'll leave my mouse cursor there so we can
see. You can see that strike right there where my mouse was. And if we move
forward here, we start to see as the data comes in. This is on GOES satellite
imagery, and you can see a fire starts right there in red, right where my mouse
cursor was.

And you can see a lot more lightning here in white and blue with these
thunderstorms that rolled through on June 1st. And if we take the lightning
data and we line it up to where these fires are located, it lines up
perfectly.

Of course, not every single lightning strike causes a forest fire, and of
course, not every forest fire is caused by lightning.

You can have arson, you can have somebody flicking their cigarette butt,
there's lots of different things. But with these particular conditions,
extremely dry in Quebec, and at the time, the fire hazard was at the extreme
level.

When you have lightning roll through, that is going to obviously cause these
fires. So you can see they're already started.

They started basically the day before. They started on June 1st, they're
already developing. And it's when the winds come in, though, that's when things
really start to take off. So you can see the wind pushing in from the
northeast.

The fires are already started, they're already there. But that's when we start
to get, it seems like they all start at once, but what's happening is the wind
is stoking those fires, and you can start to see all of that smoke coming
off those fires, and you can really start to see them grow once the wind is
being pushed.

So that's basically what's happening.

Based on the data, we can see that the lightning storms from June 1st line up
perfectly to all of these random fires that happened in Quebec. As we move
forward, you can see they get developed from that. So in this particular case,
this is started by lightning, based on the data.

Thank you very much.

We'll talk to you soon.

Bye-bye.
