abstract = "This research begins the process of creating an ensemble-based
forecast system for smoke aerosols generated from wildfires using
a modified version of the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL)
Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS). The existing WoFS has proven
effective in generating short term (0-3 hour) probabilistic
forecasts of high impact weather events such as storm rotation,
hail, severe winds, and heavy rainfall. However, it does not
include any information on large smoke plumes generated from
wildfires that impact air quality and the surrounding environment.
The prototype WoFS-Smoke system is based on the deterministic High
Resolution Rapid Refresh-Smoke (HRRR-Smoke) model. HRRR-Smoke runs
over a continental United States (CONUS) domain with a 3 km
horizontal grid spacing, with hourly forecasts out to 48 hours.
The smoke plume injection algorithm in HRRR-Smoke is integrated
into the WoFS forming WOFS-Smoke so that the advantages of the
rapidly cycling, ensemble-based WoFS can be used to generate short
term (0-3 hour) probabilistic forecasts of smoke. WoFS-Smoke
forecasts from 3 wildfire cases during 2020 show that the system
generates a realistic representation of wildfire smoke when
compared against satellite observations. Comparison of smoke
forecasts with radar data show that forecast smoke reaches higher
levels than radar detected debris, but exceptions to this are
noted. The radiative effect of smoke on surface temperature
forecasts is evident, which reduces forecast errors compared to
experiments that do not include smoke.",
