abstract = {We show that a fire plume originating at high northern
latitudes during the Canadian wildfire event in July/August
2017 reached the tropics, and subsequently the tropical
stratosphere via the ascending branch of the Brewer-Dobson
Circulation (BDC). The transport from high to low latitudes
in the upper troposphere and lowermost stratosphere was
mediated by the anticyclonic flow of the Asian monsoon
circulation. The fire plume reached the Asian monsoon area
in late August/early September, when the Asian Monsoon
Anticyclone (AMA) was still in place. While there is no
evidence of mixing into the center of the AMA, we show that
a substantial part of the fire plume is entrained into the
anticyclonic flow at the AMA edge, and is transported into
the tropical Upper-Troposphere–Lower-Stratosphere (UTLS),
and possibly the Southern Hemisphere particularly following
the north-south flow on the eastern side. In the tropics the
fire plume is lifted by ~1.5 km per month. Inside the AMA
we find evidence of the Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer
(ATAL) in August, doubling background aerosol conditions
with a calculated top of the atmosphere shortwave radiative
forcing (RF) of −0.05 W/m2. The regional climate impact
of the fire signal in the wider Asian monsoon area in
September exceeds the impact of the ATAL by a factor of
2–4 and compares to that of a plume coming from an
advected moderate volcanic eruption. The stratospheric,
trans-continental transport of this plume to the tropics and
the related regional climate impact point at the importance
of long-range dynamical interconnections of pollution
sources.},
