Smoke Dispersal Modeling
Smoke dispersal modeling is a scientific method used to predict how smoke from sources like wildfires, industrial fires, or city emissions spreads through the atmosphere. It considers factors such as wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, and topography to estimate the concentration and movement of smoke over time and space. This helps emergency responders, public health officials, and policymakers understand potential impacts on air quality and public safety, allowing them to make informed decisions about evacuations, health advisories, and environmental management.
