Collaborating for research in fire detection, the NRL at Monterey offers resources and instrumentation for biomass burning forecasting and emissions products. The FLAMBÉ method and various radiometers assist in monitoring fire activities. By utilizing advanced technology and research interests, the team aims to evaluate and improve existing systems for fire detection and forecasting accuracy.

Overview • Biomass burning forecasting • Other support resources • Available instrumentation and trials • Research interests
FLAMBÉ Method: Remote Sensing Fire Detection (ABBA-MODIS) Emission Product NAAPS Transport 4D-Data Assimilation? Microphysics and Radiation Routines (Reality Check)
Jul, Aug, & Sept Fire Activity MODIS: UM GOES: WF_ABBA
Biomass Burning Support • Dedicated FLAMBE Page with observations, satellite and model data • Daily forecasts (Reid, Hyer, Walker) • GOES WF_ABBA and MODIS monitoring • NAAPS for large plumes. • Daily AOTs from MODIS. GASP product for up to minute qualitative imagery • Also use natural hazards hand analysis and IAFC
Other Support • Auto archive satellite products from NRPTE • If needed, can arrange for auto-archive geostationary products too. • Ground support? Coordinate with Qing?
COAMPS and NexSat http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/coamps-web/web/mbay But, FNMOC is shutting down machines. http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/NEXSAT.html http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/sat_products.html
Radiometers • Kipp and Zonen solar CMP 22 pyranometers available (zenith and nadir) • IR radiometers on deployment • Investigating dual band K&Z UV-AB-T
Drop Sondes • Yankee Scientific SBIR product • P,T, RH, W, SST • 4” with parachute, 14” with spinner • Requires Twin Otter mod for manual release • Needs GPS repeater installed on TO • Can track one at a time. • Has Irridium satcom option • 10/100T or db9 communication
Other goodies… • CAPS 2-D capability: Nava now can log 2-D probe, but requires additional computer. • Updated video system (RADD, TCPIP, or VCR) • Air Data Probe. Integrated with RADD • Pelas white light system: Deploy to MBARI periodically for fly byes? Western Flyer, Point Sur? • 2 3-l nephs, SMPS, SO2, O3, ceilometer, licor, APS, 2 (4?) met stations, visiometer, automatic cameras, TEOM, DRUM, DustTrack, AERONET, all sky camera, lidar(?).
What we hope to get out of this • Help, develop hygroscopicity scheme for NAAPS and COAMPS. • Try new drop-sonde technology and incorporate data into COAMPS. • Complete evaluation of CAPS and Pelas systems. • Doyle’s request: Validation across coast lines. Does 3 km help?
