Smoke Plume Time-lapse for Prescribed Burn in Utah

This towering smoke plume reached about 3 miles (5 km) in height! To put it into context, the trees (that you can barely see) on the mountain are about 50 feet tall! The height measurement was taken using both Lidar and Radar. This fire was part of a series of prescribed burns in Utah as a way to promote Aspen growth, part of the overall FASMEE project. FASMEE stands for Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment, and is funded by the JFSP. Additionally, various fuel and wildfire research teams collected valuable data at this fire as a way to better understand wildfire behavior. San Jose State University Fire Weather Research Lab deployed their Lidar, Radar, drone, and infrared camera, all as a way to obtain a better insight into plume dynamics. Hopefully, this data will be used in the future as part of the solution to the wildfire crisis.
