Space-based observational constraints for 1-D fire smoke plume-rise models

We use a plume height climatology derived from space‐based Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) observations to evaluate the performance of a widely used plume‐rise model. We initialize the model with assimilated meteorological fields from the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System and estimated...
