“…Australia suffered unprecedented wildfires during the summer of 2019–2020 (Hirsch & Koren, 2021) owing to record‐breaking high temperatures and months of extreme drought that were likely associated with anthropogenic climate change (Abram et al., 2021; Deb et al., 2020). In these “Black Summer” wildfires, the states of New South Wales and Victoria experienced the most damage, suffering major environmental and economic losses (Boer et al., 2020; Di Virgilio et al., 2021; Filkov et al., 2020; Graham et al., 2021; Johnston et al., 2020). The wildfires persisted for several months, emitting enormous amounts of smoke particles to the atmosphere, drawing parallels to moderate volcanic eruptions (Chang et al., 2021; Hirsch & Koren, 2021) and induced potential environmental, meteorological, and climatic effects (Ehsani et al., 2020; Fasullo et al., 2021; Kumar et al., 2021).…”
