Wildfire Smoke Vortex (SCV)
Climate scientists have recently identified a new atmospheric phenomenon known as the Wildfire Smoke Vortex (SCV), which forms during intense forest fires and can significantly affect atmospheric chemistry and climate processes. A wildfire smoke vortex is essentially a large, smoke-filled cyclonic or anticyclonic vortex created by extreme heat and convection generated during massive wildfires. These vortices can lift smoke and aerosols to very high altitudes in the atmosphere, sometimes reaching up to 30–35 km, extending into the lower or
