#GOESWest Infrared Window imagery (bottom left panel) showed the formation of Canada's first 2 #pyrocumulonimbus clouds (-40C and colder cloud top temperatures, shades of blue) from the ongoing #BCWildfire outbreak: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog…

The North American #PyroCb season is off to the races again, with these fires in norther BC popping their top this afternoon. These are the sorts of events we aim to study in our newly funded #PYREX project! (nrl.navy.mil/Media/News/Art…)

I’m one of the thousands of swimmers in Indianapolis right now watching USA Swimming Olympic Trials take place in an NFL stadium and/or competing at Masters Swimming Nationals across town. It’s great to see this level of enthusiasm for the sport in my home state.

There are numerous intense fires burning across British Columbia this evening including 2-3 that are producing pyrocumulonimbus clouds. #BCwildfire #bcstorm

The webcam at Manning Provincial Park has a great view of the pyrocumulonimbus being produced by the Calcite Creek Fire. #bcstorm #BCWildfires

Looks like a pyrocb tonight on the Calcite Creek fire near the Washington - BC border. GOES West geocolor and mid-ir below (Band 7 - white active fire and red - intense fire).

Anomalously deep trough set to impact Northern California this weekend. This patterns is of known fire weather concern, with strong SW winds and late summer dry fuels in the central-to-northern Sierra and coastal ranges (excepting far NW where rain is likely)... #CAfire #CAwx

You can see the smoke being exhuasted through the #linefire's #pyroCb. Compare the "dirty" cloud tops over the #linefire (roughly in the middle) with the pristine white of the adjacent convection.

Several wildfires produced large #pyroCb events this weekend in California, Idaho, and Wyoming, including the #lavafire and #linefire. #cawx #idwx #wywx

2.5-minute #Himawari9 Visible / Shortwave Infrared / Infrared Window images showed signatures of 3 #pyrocumulonimbus cloud pulses (from 0832-0842 UTC) initiated by a wildfire in South Korea -- these are the first documented #pyroCb events on the Korean Peninsula.

#TechTuesday PyroCbs As wildfires grow more intense and frequent across the globe, scientists at the NRL are working to better understand a rare but powerful byproduct of these blazes; pyrocumulonimbus clouds, pyroCbs. youtu.be/Fc6chNDVcqY?si… #nrl #nrlresearch #weather #nasa
