Collow leads GMAO Snapshot on Smoke from Wildfires
Allie Collow (610.1/UMBC) led an article on the effects of the Canadian wildfires, "Exceptional Wildfire Smoke Across Canada Inundates the Northeastern United States," which was published online as a GMAO Science Snapshot. Co-authors include Joe Ardizonne, K. Emma Knowland (610.1/MSU), and Pamela Wales (610.1/MSU). The article references the MODIS satellite, GMAO's GEOS-FP system, and AERONET, which provide data on aerosol optical depth (AOD) and information on particulate matter (PM), contributing to weather analyses and forecasts.
