Resumo

Australia experienced the most disastrous bushfires in over 40 years on Ash Wednesday, 16 February 1983. This article describes the meteorological conditions prior to, during and after these fires, and includes photographs from GMS-2. It also discusses simple manual trajectory analyses which indicate the movement of the respective air masses, and the atmospheric effect of particulates.
