The fire behavior model will largely increase the UFS’s potential to carry out fundamental fire research, provide predictions of the fire evolution, and improve fire weather forecast information.
The Weather Program Office is working with Northeastern University and George Mason University to enhance the high resolution forecasting capability of the National Air Quality Forecast Capability (NAQFC) based on the inline Rapid-Refresh Forecast System (RRFS)- Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model system.
