Smoke from wildfires and prescribed burns can travel far and negatively affect air quality and health. One key factor influencing smoke behavior is how much moisture is in the burning vegetation (fuel moisture content). This study uses computer simulations to investigate how dry and wet vegetation fuels influence the formation and spread of fire smoke plumes in daytime atmospheric turbulence, and how these differences may impact nearby communities. Understanding these effects can improve smoke forecasts and help protect communities.
