Abstract. Using a modeling framework, this study investigates how a pyrocumulonimbus
(pyroCb) event influences water vapor concentrations and cirrus-cloud
properties near the tropopause, specifically focusing on how fire-produced
aerosols affect this role. Results from a case study show that when observed
fire intensity is high, there is an insignificant impact of fire-produced
aerosols on the development of the pyroCb and associated changes in water
vapor and cirrus clouds near the tropopause. However, as fire intensity
weakens, effects of those aerosols on microphysical variables and processes
such as droplet size and autoconversion increase. Due to this,
aerosol-induced invigoration of convection is significant for pyroCb with
weak-intensity fires and associated weak surface heat fluxes. This leads to
a situation where there is a greater aerosol effect on the transport of
water vapor to the upper troposphere and the production of cirrus clouds
with weak-intensity fires, whereas this effect is muted with
strong-intensity fires.
