This project is providing forecasting capabilities for the NSF-sponsored Western wildfire Experiment for Cloud chemistry, Aerosol absorption and Nitrogen (WE-CAN) field campaign. WE-CAN is a major field intensive planned for summer 2018 and includes deployment of sophisticated atmospheric chemistry instrumentation on the NSF/NCAR C-130 to sample and systematically characterize the emissions and first day of evolution of western U.S. wildfire plumes. Planning for this field campaign is currently underway and forecasting capabilities are urgently needed to ensure the success of the campaign. The WE-CAN field campaign will provide new information about emissions from wildfires, including information on the emissions of major toxic species in smoke plumes, the evolution of fine particulate matter in the plume over time, and the interactions of smoke particles with nearby clouds. The support for WE-CAN provided by this effort includes the use of (1) the real-time High Resolution Rapid Refresh smoke (HRRR-Smoke) modeling system, and (2) the FxCAVE (Forecast-extended Common AWIPS Visualization Environment) virtual client that delivers operational National Weather Service (NWS) forecast observations and forecast models. There will be at least 4 graduate student forecasters involved in WE-CAN.

该项目为 NSF 赞助的西部野火云化学、气溶胶吸收和氮气实验 (WE-CAN) 现场活动提供预测能力。 WE-CAN 是计划于 2018 年夏季开展的一项重大现场密集型项目，包括在 NSF/NCAR C-130 上部署先进的大气化学仪器，以对美国西部野火羽流的排放和第一天的演变进行采样和系统表征。 此次实地活动的规划目前正在进行中，迫切需要预测能力以确保活动的成功。 WE-CAN 现场活动将提供有关野火排放的新信息，包括烟羽中主要有毒物质的排放、烟羽中细颗粒物随时间的演变以及烟雾颗粒与附近云层相互作用的信息。这项工作提供的对 WE-CAN 的支持包括使用 (1) 实时高分辨率快速刷新烟雾 (HRRR-Smoke) 建模系统，以及 (2) FxCAVE（预测扩展通用 AWIPS 可视化环境）虚拟提供可操作的国家气象局 (NWS) 预报观测和预报模型的客户端。至少有 4 名研究生预报员参与 WE-CAN。
