Wildfire plumes in the Western US are reaching greater heights and injecting more aerosols aloft as wildfire activity intensifies
By producing a first-of-its-kind, decadal-scale wildfire plume rise climatology in the Western
US and Canada, we identify trends toward enhanced plume top heights, aerosol loading …
