abstract = {Wildfires emit large quantities of aerosols and trace
gases, which occasionally reach the lower stratosphere. In
August 2017, several pyro-cumulonimbus events injected a
large amount of smoke into the stratosphere, observed by
lidar and satellites. Satellite observations are in general
the main method of detecting these events since in situ
aircraft- or balloon-based measurements of atmospheric
composition at higher altitudes are not made frequently
enough. This work presents accidental balloon-borne trace
gas observations of wildfire smoke in the lower
stratosphere, identified by enhanced CO mole fractions at
approximately 13.6 km. In addition to CO mole fractions,
CO2 mole fractions and isotopic composition of CO (δ13C and
δ18O) have been measured in air samples, from both the
wildfire plume and background, collected using an AirCore
and a lightweight stratospheric air sampler (LISA) flown on
a weather balloon from Sodankylä (4–7 September 2017;
67.37∘ N, 26.63∘ E; 179 m a.m.s.l.), Finland.
The greenhouse gas enhancement ratio (ΔCO:ΔCO2) and the
isotopic signature based on δ13C(CO) and δ18O(CO)
independently identify wildfire emissions as the source of
the stratospheric CO enhancement. Back-trajectory analysis
was performed with the Chemical Lagrangian Model of the
Stratosphere (CLaMS), tracing the smoke's origin to
wildfires in British Columbia with an injection date of 12
August 2017. The trajectories are corrected for vertical
displacement due to heating of the wildfire aerosols, by
observations made by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal
Polarization (CALIOP) instrument. Knowledge of the age of
the smoke allowed for a correction of the enhancement ratio,
ΔCO:ΔCO2, for the chemical removal of CO by OH. The stable
isotope observations were used to estimate the amount of
tropospheric air in the plume at the time of observation to
be about $45±21 \%.$ Finally, the plume extended over
1 km in altitude, as inferred from the observations.},
