BlueSkyRAINS is a smoke modeling system that allows users to view smoke forecasts from fire. These smoke predictions have a large number of potential uses, from informing go/no-go decisions on prescribed fires to wildland fire use/wildfire categorization decisions to information dissemination to the public. Adoption of BlueSkyRAINS as an operational tool by fire and land managers has been limited primarily by the complexity of the system. This complexity requires users to understand significant amounts of information before they can navigate the system to obtain the information they want, or understand the inherent limitations of any predictive model. Both problems must be overcome before smoke predictions such as those produced by BlueSkyRAINS are useful in decision support. The goal of this project was to develop training and reference materials to overcome these hurdles. Several types of materials were developed: web-based help pages, FAQs, tutorials, a print-based user’s guide, and a course-based module for the RX-410 Smoke Management course. These materials needed to include information covering a number of topics. First, BlueSky is a smoke modeling framework that combines existing meteorological, fire, fuels, emissions, and dispersion models to produce smoke concentration and trajectory information. This type of framework is inherently complex and has multiple sources of potential error that must be understood. Second, the Rapid Access INformation System (RAINS) is a GIS-based web display system that combines multiple data layers with a wide variety of user selectable tools. Users need to be able to navigate the system to obtain the information they need. Finally, the full value of smoke predictions, meteorological forecasts, and ventilation index information has not been realized because of obstacles to accessibility for users. BlueSkyRAINS, by making such information available, allows a new array of data to be added into the decision matrix. Users need to understand how this information can benefit them the most. The materials developed in this project provide a significant advance towards achieving this understanding. However, because the system development is ongoing, all of the materials were created to be flexible and easily modified.
