Abstract

An analysis of smoke haze over Europe in July 2016 caused by the wildfires in Siberia has been carried out. Surface air pollution by aerosols in Moscow region during the smoke event was also investigated. It was found that optical and microphysical characteristics of the smoke aerosol in Europe were typical for the boreal forest fires. The aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) variations at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and the bottom of the atmosphere (BOA) during the smoke haze period were analyzed. The regional mean direct radiative forcing of aerosols at the TOA and BOA on 26 July 2016 were estimated to be -25 and -45 W/m² respectively. Probability distribution function of ARF values at the TOA was presented.
