英文摘要 | The two most intense wildfires of the last decade that took place in Canada in 2017 and Australia in 2019–2020 were followed by large injections of smoke into the stratosphere due to pyro-convection. After the Australian event, Khaykin et al. (2020) and Kablick et al. (2020) discovered that part of this smoke self-organized as anticyclonic confined vortices that rose in the mid-latitude stratosphere up to 35 km. Based on Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) observations and the ERA5 reanalysis, this new study analyses the Canadian case and finds, similarly, that a large plume had penetrated the stratosphere by 12–13 August 2017 and then became trapped within a mesoscale anticyclonic structure that travelled across the Atlantic. It then broke into three offspring that could be followed until mid-October, performing three round-the-world journeys and rising up to 23 km. We analyse the dynamical structure of the vortices produced by these two wildfires and demonstrate how the assimilation of the real temperature and ozone data from instruments measuring the signature of the vortices explains the appearance and maintenance of the vortices in the constructed dynamical fields. We propose that these vortices can be seen as bubbles of small, almost vanishing, potential vorticity and smoke carried vertically across the stratification from the troposphere inside the middle stratosphere by their internal heating, against the descending flux of the Brewer–Dobson circulation. |
