We present an analysis of the synoptical conditions from July 15 to July 31, 2019, on the Siberian territory in the forest fire zone with the establishment of a blocking anticyclone over the smoke-blanketed area. We consider the dynamics of propagation the smoke plumes and various characteristics of the atmosphere over the area covered by in the smoke. Large and super-large fires were observed on the territory of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, Irkutsk Region, and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), united by a common zone of aerodynamic interaction of convective columns and atmospheric systems as satellite monitoring data shows. Disastrous forest fires significantly affect the development and movement of air masses.
Keywords: forest fires, smoke-blanketing, satellite data, atmosphere
