A Suite of smoke tools for forecasting and managing air quality impacts from fires

open access: yesBiodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Dealing with smoke is a growing issue as larger and more frequent wildfires and increasing populations amplify the various concerns generated by smoke exposure--from firefighter and transportation safety to economic losses to health effects.

Optimizing Smoke and Plume Rise Modeling Approaches at Local Scales

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2018
Heating from wildfires adds buoyancy to the overlying air, often producing plumes that vertically distribute fire emissions throughout the atmospheric column over the fire.

Sensitivity Analysis of Influencing Factors of Fire Smoke Transport on Subway Station Platforms

open access: yesFire, 2023
This paper investigates the sensitivity of factors influencing the transport of smoke in subway station fires by developing a three-dimensional physical model of a subway station using Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology and importing it into ...

Markov model of smoking cessation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
Survival functions from smoking cessation interventions are described by a three-state Markov model. On quitting, smokers transit through a state of withdrawal characterized by a high rate of relapse, and then into a more secure state of long-term abstinence.

Capturing Plume Rise and Dispersion with a Coupled Large-Eddy Simulation: Case Study of a Prescribed Burn

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2019
Current understanding of the buoyant rise and subsequent dispersion of smoke due to wildfires has been limited by the complexity of interactions between fire behavior and atmospheric conditions, as well as the uncertainty in model evaluation data.

A Coupled Wildfire-Emission and Dispersion Framework for Probabilistic PM2.5 Estimation

open access: yesFire, 2023
Accurate representation of fire emissions and smoke transport is crucial for current and future wildfire-smoke projections. We present a flexible modeling framework for emissions sourced from the First Street Foundation Wildfire Model (FSF-WFM) to ...

Canadian and Alaskan wildfire smoke particle properties, their evolution, and controlling factors, from satellite observations [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
The optical and chemical properties of biomass burning (BB) smoke particles greatly affect the impact that wildfires have on climate and air quality. Previous work has demonstrated some links between smoke properties and factors such as fuel type and ...
