This is from an experimental model called HRRR-Smoke (High-Resolution Rapid Refresh), produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and it has become a critical tool for ...

This map (10am EDT on Aug. 20, 2018) comes from NOAA and is an experimental model showing both upper level or near-surface smoke. This particular iteration of the map is showing the near-surface ...

While its helpful for scientists and meteorologists, the average person might not be so thrilled to see this map right now. That’s because it shows, in detail, where wildfire smoke will spread ...

This particular iteration of the map is showing the near-surface smoke (expressed in μg/m3) from the HRRR-Smoke Model. The Near-Surface Smoke overlays 10-meter wind data, expressed in knots.

Red is high levels of smoke, blue is low levels. Courtesy of NOAA. So if you’re looking at the HRRR-Smoke map, on that same left-hand menu, click on “Near Surface Smoke.” ...

The AirNow fire and smoke map shows a film of gray wildfire smoke across most of the US on July 20, ... Here, NOAA's HRRR-Smoke model forecasts the movement of smoke from Wed - Thurs, 7/21-22.

The maps were generated through the NOAA’s HRRR smoke modeling system, which was developed to simulate the emissions and transport of smoke from wildfires in real time.

Smoke from the deadly wildfires that engulfed California made its way east Monday — and was visible in New Jersey and parts of the Big Apple, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric A… ...

The NOAA has also released a smoke forecast for the next 52 hours that shows the plumes spreading eastward across North America, with particularly high concentrations in the northwestern U.S. and ...
