Comparison of HYSPLIT Concentrations to Smoke Plumes
Smoke concentrations were computed using the Final (FNL)
analysis meteorological data for a location in Central Mexico originating at
0000 UTC on May 24. A comparison with the NASA/EOS TOMS satellite optical depth measurements
from May 26 shows that the smoke plume corresponds well with the
modeled trajectories. For more information on the Hysplit wild fires smoke predictions, please contact
