FireCAMMS

BlueSky is a smoke modeling framework that provides ready access to high-resolution weather predictions, smoke predictions, and fire danger information for the Northwest region. It offers daily emission tracking, real-time smoke predictions, quantitative verification, automated centralized processing, and community model development.
