Recent wildfires in the U.S. and abroad have underscored the far-reaching effects that smoke from wildfires has on lives and industries, impacting air quality, aviation, solar energy generation, and more. As a result, demand has increased for reliable and accurate forecasts of smoke emanating from wildfires. To address this need, the next operational implementation of the Rapid Refresh (RAP) and High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) analysis and forecasting systems (planned for June 2020) will include, for the first time, a smoke prediction capability (Ahmadov et al., 2017).
