Bericht des Kopernikus-Atmosphärenüberwachungsdienstes (CAMS), 1.6.2023 (engl. Original)
During the 2023 Spring in the Northern Hemisphere several regions around the world have been affected by significant wildfires, some of them even breaking records. Episodes in Spain, Canada and Russia have been particularly relevant for this time of the year. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) has been tracking the intensity of wildfires and their emissions in the atmosphere and is presenting a report of the current conditions before the start of the boreal summer.
The wildfire season in the Northern Hemisphere had an early beginning, with significant wildfires in Spain in March. Since 23 March, scientists from CAMS tracked significant fire activity in different regions of Spain, affecting mainly Valencia with further fires in Asturias, and Cantabria, but of smaller magnitude as those in Valencia.
As a result of these wildfires, Spain experienced the highest levels of emissions for this month on record, on par with those of wildfires in 2012. Having wildfires of these proportions so early in the year is an unusual occurrence. Copernicus' data has highlighted how the fire risk has been exacerbated by the high temperatures and dry conditions that affected the continent during the previous winter.
