From: Wildfire-driven thunderstorms cause a volcano-like stratospheric injection of smoke
Characteristics of the young stratospheric smoke plume. Top panel shows profiles of 532 nm attenuated backscatter (km−1 sr−1) observed by CALIOP on 14 August 2017 for a daytime (ascending) CALIPSO overpass beginning 19:27 UTC. The dashed white line denotes the approximate tropopause altitude. Bottom panel shows near-coincident ultra-violet (UV) aerosol index (AI) observations from OMPS, with the CALIPSO satellite track superimposed in black. The horizontal extent of the stratospheric smoke plume (AI ≥ 15) is displayed in shades of yellow and red
