General Discussion

• The SMARTFIRE Viewer is an interactive web mapping and analysis tool that consists of:
  
• fire locations from the SMARTFIRE database,
• a base map with terrain, and
• a tool for modeling smoke trajectories from any location in the conterminous U.S. interactively.
• Fire location data are updated daily and trajectory information is updated every six hours.

How to use

• From the WFDSS Air Quality Tools Portal, the user is zoomed-in to the location of their fire.  Forward trajectories at three starting heights (500, 1000, and 3000 m) originating from the fire location are pregenerated.
• The trajectories show the path that smoke is expected to travel depending on the plume height.  Each labeled point along the line represent an hour.
• Areas in the path of the trajectory may be impacted by smoke.

Navigating the product

• A one page help sheet highlighting how to run trajectories in the SMARTFIRE Viewer is available here.
