The impact of Australia's bush fires on the stratosphere were 'unprecedented as far as the observational record goes.'
their own extreme weather patterns, including thunderstorms—and a study published Thursday revealed the blazes had an even greater climate impact than previously known.that aerosols from the smoke created by the fires caused the highest temperatures in the Earth's stratosphere in decades and likely created a hole in the ozone layer over most of Antarctica.
, extreme weather events like the bush fires are likely to continue, said the authors of the study—and with them could come more damage to the ozone layer. During the bush fires of early 2020, though, the temperature of the Earth's second atmospheric layer reached 3°C over Australia and 0.7°C across the globe., the heat-induced weather systems—called pyrocumulonimbus—caused by the fires"pumped the smoke into remarkably high altitudes, with the sun's rays heating the dark particles and causing them to rise further, in a process called self-lofting.
