[edit] Aerosol and Smoke Forecasts

Smoke forecast are now being performed by diverse approaches, including chemical transport models that assimilate fire observations and forward trajectory models. In the resource table below the smoke forecast are available as quantitative datasets that can be browsed and analyzed. The additional links below point to forecasting presented through their respective, dedicated interfaces.
