Is cutting emissions contributing to #GlobalWarming?

An analysis from #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service & #C3S scientists, concludes that it is too early to attribute the 2023 warm temperatures to the recent reductions in aerosols.

🔥🇬🇷 #Greece #wildfire emissions have been the highest for a month of July in two decades, according to data from the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service’s Global Fire Assimilation System.

Winter was dry in Spain this year, and recent temperatures unusually high for the season.

This contributes to very high fire risks. And brings us back to earlier tweets, on links between #LandUse and #Wildfires.

Continuing #wildfires in #Chile with impressive extent of smoke over the Pacific ocean in the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service aerosol optical depth forecast initialized 7 February 00 UTC. Change in winds towards South Atlantic also coming in the next few days.

More information on CAMS monitoring of these fires was published today on our website at https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/wildfires-ravage-chile-cams-monitors-situation

The latest update from our #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service: Starting from 1 February, we have begun assimilating Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aerosol optical depth observations.

This integration will ensure the continuity of our aerosol assimilation and enhance the performance of our forecasts.

Sheer intensity of the many #wildfires in Chile reflected in #CopernicusAtmosphere #ECMWF Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS) fire radiative power (FRP), based on MODIS🛰️ obs. Highest intensity fires in Araucania and Biobio where daily total FRP has been much greater than 2003-2022 mean, leading to the highest estimated Jan-Feb emissions (carbon shown but similar for aerosols) in the GFAS dataset (only up to 4 Feb in 2023!)

@CopernicusECMWF @wildfirescience #wildfire #incendiosforestales

Incredibly high intensity of the devastating #wildfires in Chile🇨🇱 producing thick smoke plumes which are heading out over the Pacific Ocean as shown in the #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service #ECMWF 5-day forecast of total aerosol optical depth initialized on 5 February at 00 UTC. Noting also smoke from increasing number of early season fires in Colombia🇨🇴 further north.

Notable fires in Mexico & S America, with peak fire season in N tropical Africa. 2nd lowest January total emissions since 2003. Hotspots across W Canada during Jan related more to gas/oil extraction activities rather than fires.

Global #wild & vegetation fires in 2022 had generated around 1,455 Megatonnes of carbon emissions. Europe and South America saw the highest emissions in the last 20 years with France and Spain being two of the worst affected European countries.
