Small-scale mixing processes enhancing troposphere-to-stratosphere transport by pyro-cumulonimbus storms

Deep convection induced by large forest fires is an efficient mechanism for transport of aerosol particles and trace gases into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS). For many pyro-cumulonimbus clouds (pyroCbs) as well as other cases of severe convection without fire forcing, radiomet...
