摘要
Two large forest fires plumes, one from Russia and one from California were observed in 2003 over the east coast of the US using a wide suite of instruments including lidar on the ground, GLAS, MODIS, TOMS, AERONET and GOES-8. For the Russian fire plume, the smoke arrived in US mid-Atlantic states at a height of 3km. The California fires were much higher (10-12km) and not obviously identified as smoke. This paper presents these serendipitous observations and discusses how to optimize the observation of such events in the future.
