Wildfires – Australian bushfire smoke cloud continues to circle the earth
The vast smoke cloud which darkened New Zealand skies in January is continuing its journey around the world. The Australian bushfire smoke is now 35km above the earth and scientists are still tracking it almost four months later.
Niwa (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research) atmospheric scientist Dr Richard Querel said it was remarkable to be able to track a smoke plume for more than 100 days. The main bulk of the plume was about five kilometres high and hundreds of kilometres wide.
Scientists have been tracking the smoke since it formed in December, and it has since travelled around the globe several times.
