🔥 Emissions from Spain and Portugal #wildfires so far this year account for three quarters of 2025 total fire emissions for the European Union + United Kingdom based on #CopernicusAtmosphere data. As of 25 August, EU+UK emissions are the highest annual total in the GFAS dataset going back to 2003.

“The amount of spring rain is one of the best indicators of when you’ll hit the more severe part of the fire season,” Max Moritz @ucanr.edu said. “But the warming trend still plays a role because... plants are drying faster than in the past.”

The EUBURN-SILEX campaign has just ended after a dozen flights over 🇫🇷 fires and 🇨🇦 plumes transported over the 🇫🇷 country. A comprehensive database was acquired using a set of innovative ✈️ in-situ and remote sensing instruments. Next phase is the postprocessing of the database acquired.

New paper out - Regional wildfire smoke reduces boreal forest
carbon uptake

iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Wildfires are a source of carbon and they can reduce the carbon sink from the forest. Cumulative Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) shows a big drop in 2011 Day 138 due to wildfire smoke.

Cumulative Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) observed at the eddy covariance tower for DOY 128–168 in years 2009–2011. Note the large decrease around DOY 138 in 2011 due to wildfire smoke.

It's official. 2025 is now the third worst wildfire year on record in Canada. A study from 2018 examining fire-regime changes in Canada over the prior 57 years showed the fire season had been starting approximately one week earlier and ending one week later. Probably longer now.
