ANCILLARY INFORMATION


Flight: 19-817-20
Date: August 07, 2019
Aircraft: NASA DC-8, #817
Deployment: FIREX-AQ
Flight Location: Washington / Idaho / Montana (Williams Flats Fire)
Principal Investigator: Simon Hook (JPL)
Additional Sensors: FIREX-AQ DC-8 Payload
Objective: The overarching objective of FIREX-AQ is to provide measurements of trace gas and aerosol emissions for wildfires and prescribed fires in great detail, relate them to fuel and fire conditions at the point of emission, characterize the conditions relating to plume rise, follow plumes downwind to understand chemical transformation and air quality impacts, and assess the efficacy of satellite detections for estimating the emissions from sampled fires.
