Are you in Oregon right now? Have you spent time in Western Oregon prior to this week? Unless the answer to both those questions is “yes,” you can’t know what we’re going through. #OregonWildfires2020
🔥thread continues...🔥

But it’s not your fault. National news outlets, even the reliable ones like @washingtonpost and @nytimes just aren’t capturing the uniquely dire situation in Oregon. Although @cflav and @henryfountain started to scratch the surface nyti.ms/2Zycepj #OregonWildfires2020

We are not just an extension of California and Washington. We are not just experiencing the next incremental progression of #ClimateChange. This is a weather/ecological event the likes of which the world has not seen in modern history. #OregonWildfires2020

Today’s #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service aerosol optical depth forecast valid for 11 Sept at 00 UTC atmosphere.copernicus.eu/charts/cams/ae… shows #CaliforniaFires smoke over Ireland before crossing UK & North Sea throughout Friday #wildfires #IIFF

Only just noticing the length of the yellow plume (AOD > 0.5) stretching right across the North Atlantic. At first it reminded me of this forecast from June 2019 & link to more information on how we monitor fires & long-range transport of smoke pollution

Hello to everyone suddenly paying attention to the orange skies of the west coast!
Local journalist here, fresh off weeks of interviewing weather, climate, forest, and fire experts to give you . . . a #CaliforniaFires explainer thread:

1. Our sky looks crazy because the sunlight is filtering through up to 50,000 feet of smoke and ash to reach the ground.

https://twitter.com/Weather_West/status/1303710477696946177?s=20

2. This happens when fires are so
a) big, and
b) intense
that they make their own weather: a column of super-heated air that launches smoke and ash miles up into the atmosphere.
