Airborne monitoring and smoke characterization of prescribed fires on forest lands in western Washington and Oregon

Detailed airborne measurements of smoke plumes from seven prescribed burns of forest biomass residues leftover from timber harvests in Washington and Oregon are described. Measurements of particle size distributions in the plumes at ~3.3 km downwind of the burns showed a…
