Why model?
• Ability to predict impacts at many locations
• Monitors can’t predict future impacts
• Inexpensive
• Analyze varying scenarios
– Type of burn
– Fuel type
– Moisture
– Timing

HYSPLIT-what is it?
• Model to determine trajectory a parcel of air will follow
• Free to public
• Links to readily available meteorological data
• Options for dispersion, deposition, instantaneous or continuous emissions
• Forward or back in time
• User-friendly

Blue Sky Playground
• Web tool combining:
– Fuels information data (FCCS and LANDFIRE)
– Consumption models (CONSUME)
– Emissions factors and models (FEPS)
– Dispersion models (HYSPLIT and VSMOKE-GIS)
– Meteorological forecast data (NAM, NW Regional Modeling Consortium, CA/NV Smoke and Air Consortium)
