First lines:
BlueSky is a framework of components linking together existing models of fuel load, fire behavior, emissions, and smoke dispersion to predict cumulative concentrations of smoke (currently, in the form of fine particulate matter; PM 2.5) across political boundaries and ownerships.1,2 All domain information is obtained from the numerical weather grid, thereby allowing BlueSky to be easily adapted to other regions that run numerical meteorological prediction systems. This has allowed its application to wildland fires throughout the United tates and parts of Canada...
