Wildfires in Canada and Russia are having significant atmospheric impacts ahead of the boreal summer. Satellite observations show smoke crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Canada to Europe and being transported from Russia’s Far Eastern Federal District towards the Arctic.
Data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) reveals the latest insights:
Total estimated fire emissions for Canada are second only to 2023 (approximately 56 megatonnes released) up to the beginning of June.
Satellite observations show long-range transport of smoke from Canadian wildfires crossing the Atlantic and reaching Europe.
Significantly high estimated carbon emissions from more than 100 active wildfires in the Russian Federation.
In May, large smoke plumes were transported from Zaybaykalsky Krai towards north-eastern China and northern Japan.
