Smoke Dispersion & AQI Forecasts

Real-time and forecast PM2.5 concentrations and AQI categories at 3km resolution โ€” so communities, employers, and event organizers can make timely decisions about outdoor exposure.

Our smoke model ingests satellite-detected fire radiative power, atmospheric wind data, and boundary layer stability to produce 48-hour plume forecasts updated every hour.
