MM5 Real Time High-resolution weather prediction for smoke and fire management

BlueSkyRAINS BlueSky is a product developed by the USDA Forest Service that links computer models of fuel consumption and emissions, fire, weather, and smoke dispersion into one system for predicting the cumulative impacts of smoke from:

Fuel Moisture Stations With the increasing use of prescribed fire as a way of managing wildland areas in the United States, predicting the potential impacts and assessing risks are becoming more important. Of great concern are the effects of smoke on air quality and visibility. By developing ventilation potential as a spatial climate data base it can be overlain with other elements of risk for a more complete assessment of the impact of prescribed fire in wildland areas of the United States.

Pilot Balloons The Montana/Idaho Airshed Group coordinates burning in the states of Idaho and Montana in order to better manage smoke and protect air quaility. This website has been designed to allow remote data entry by Pilot Balloon operators and easy access to observations by meteorologists, airshed coordinators, and others within the states of Idaho and Montana who may find the information useful.

Haines The Haines Index is a measure of how readily atmospheric conditions roughly 1 to 3 km (0.5 to 2 miles) above the ground would support the development of a large or erratic plume dominated wildfire. As part of a project funded by the USDA Forest Service and the Joint Fire Science Program, research scientists at Michigan State University, the Northern Research Station, and the Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Laboratory have created this climatology of the Haines Index based on data from the years 1961 through 2000.
