The Northwest International Air Quality, Environmental Science & Technology (NW-AIRQUEST) consortium was formed with the goal to develop sound scientific tools for air quality management. Beginning in 2001, with NW-AIRQUEST support, Washington State University (WSU) developed a state-of-science numerical air quality forecast system called the Air Indicator Report for Public Awareness and Community Tracking (AIRPACT). With ongoing NASA support, WSU is developing methods that use satellite trace gas and aerosol products to enhance and evaluate AIRPACT. However, a missing component in the AIRPACT decision support system is a comprehensive way to treat wildland fires. Using the BlueSky Framework to provide information on wildfires in terms of location, size, emissions and plume rise, we have observed significant differences between satellite observations of nitrogen dioxide, aerosols, and plume height and AIRPACT simulations. To address these shortcomings, we will demonstrate the feasibility of using the WRF-Fire coupled atmosphere-fire model for explicit treatment of fire impacts within AIRPACT. By using WRF-Fire, we will better characterize wildfire plume rise and rate of spread, and improve our forecasts of air quality. In stage 1, we will implement WRF-Fire/AIRPACT on a limited basis to demonstrate the feasibility for enhancing the air quality forecasts. We will evaluate this enhancement using NASA satellite products including the OMI nitrogen dioxide and ozone products and MISR and CALIPSO aerosol products. WRF-Fire/AIRPACT will provide daily forecasts of wildland fire impacts on air quality across the Pacific Northwest. Evaluating air quality forecasts with satellite products will provide a means to quantitatively assess how these enhancements perform within AIRPACT. Because of the strength of the NW-AIRQUEST consortium and the maturity of the AIRPACT forecast system, the work proposed herein will build on a very sound foundation that will allow rapid implementation the proposed enhancements following the feasibility demonstration.
