BlueSky
BlueSky - A framework for predicting fire and smoke effects that integrates components for fuel load fuel moisture fuel consumption emissions dispersion/trajectories Developed and managed by the USDA
Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, AirFIRE team.
BlueSky
Designed as a tool to aid prescribed fire managers in making go/no-go decisions with regard to smoke management
Provides hourly surface PM2.5 concentrations and smoke plume trajectories depicting direction and height of the plume
PB-Piedmont
Predicts nocturnal smoke movement and potential for visibility hazards
