Assessing Forest Canopy Impacts on Smoke Concentrations Using a Coupled Numerical Model

The impact of a forest canopy on smoke concentration is assessed by applying a numerical weather prediction model coupled with a Lagrangian particle dispersion model to two low-intensity wildland (prescribed) fires in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. A comparison with observations indicates that the cou...
