Talk:100531 QuebecFires

Major NE Wildfire Event - George Allen, 2010-06-01

Where in the world is Rudy? fyi - there are [once again] Quebec fires sending smoke our way -- some sites ~150 ug/m3 1-h pm. I can smell it strongly in Boston. Lake George in NY had to basically shut down today per Dirk Felton. ANT data from today for elevated sites is attached. I don't trust the VT FDMS teoms, and neither does VT. But Whiteface is impressive as are some Maine sites.

Much to my surprise, http://www.airnowdata.org/pmfine/hourly.html still has actual 1-h pm2.5 concentration animations, including CAN data. Select northeast region from the pulldown menu.

Other products, such as 3-h running AQI breakpoint conc. data animations are also available -- these are helpful in tracking the plumes. See: http://www.airnowdata.org/pmfine/runningavg3c.html
