The 2023 Canadian fire season is like no-other in the satellite record (2000-pres). Here are the accumulated fire-radiative power (FRP) curves, with 2023 (magenta) in a league of its own. Note that smoke production is proportional to FRP. (data= MODIS, results= prelim) #pyrocene Image For reference here is a similar analysis for Western US, note the exceptional 2020 and 2021 fire years. The labor day 2020 fire outbreak was really something else. Note that these plots are not fire area, but the combined effect of area and intensity. @ggweather Image

1/n: On the plus side, as the closed low drifts slowly westward the fires in #Quebec are likely to be *somewhat* less prolific in their smoke production today. In this loop you can see the clouds overspreading the fire region: 2/n: Looking at the thermal IR you can clearly see the fires and the clouds moving overhead
