Excited to share a new publication led by @drdavepeterson.bsky.social with contributions by Mike Fromm, René Servranckx and others, that analyzes the inventory of all known, worldwide, observed pyroCb events from 2013-2023! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Worldwide inventory reveals the frequency and variability of pyrocumulonimbus and stratospheric smoke plumes during 2013–2023 - npj Climate and Atmospheric Science

2.5-minute #Himawari9 Visible / Shortwave Infrared / Infrared Window images showed signatures of 3 #pyrocumulonimbus cloud pulses (from 0832-0842 UTC) initiated by a wildfire in South Korea -- these are the first documented #pyroCb events on the Korean Peninsula.

The first-known #pyroCb in South Korea happened this morning (UTC) on a large fire near Uiseong. PyroCb are wildfire driven thunderstorms that can act like chimneys and transport smoke into the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere. H/T to the pyroCb community/email thread for catching this!
