SAGE III on ISS

The 2025 wildfire season in Canada has been long and widespread with over 6.8 million hectares burned as of August 6, 2025, placing this year in the top 5 seasons, but less than half the size of the devastating 2023 season, according to the Canadian Wildfire Information System. Smoke from the fires traveled to the USA, Europe and beyond. The June 2025 release of SAGE III/ISS multi-wavelength aerosol extinction coefficient profiles allows scientists to see what smoke was transported into the stratosphere.
