Spichtinger, N., Wenig, M., James, P., Wagner, T., Platt, U. and Stohl, A. (2001). Satellite detection of a continental-scale plume of nitrogen oxides from boreal forest fires. Geophysical Research Letters 28: doi: 10.1029/2001GL013484. issn: 0094-8276.

In previous studies it was shown that boreal forest fires in Canada caused large plumes with high CO and aerosol concentrations in August 1998. Haze and enhanced CO and O3 were observed even over Europe. In this study we use dispersion model calculations, Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) aerosol index data, and tropospheric NO2 columns derived from Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) data to track a NOx plume from forest fire hot spots, via the Atlantic Ocean, to the west coast of Europe. ¿ 2001 American Geophysical Union
