[from the text] Our last research brief focused on managing smoke emissions using a decision support system in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). The authors of this system used a look-up table approach using smoke dispersion and fuel parameters to estimate the impact of smoke from prescribed fires on WUI area. However, some state air quality offices are now requiring more sophisticated smoke management plans, including the use of computer models of smoke generation and dispersion to help account for potentially hazardous particulate matter (PM) and ozone production during wild and prescribed fires. With this brief, we transition from our WUI focus to a smoke science focus with a review of smoke models in use for wild and prescribed fire smoke forecasts.
