Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from the atmospheric oxidation of nonmethane
organic gases (NMOG) is a major contributor to atmospheric aerosol mass. Emissions and …

Primary and secondary aerosol particles originating from biomass burning contribute
significantly to the atmospheric aerosol budget and thereby to both direct and indirect …

Multiple trace-gas instruments were deployed during the fourth Fire Lab at Missoula
Experiment (FLAME-4), including the first application of proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight …

Western wildfires have a major impact on air quality in the US. In the fall of 2016, 107 test
fires were burned in the large-scale combustion facility at the US Forest Service Missoula …

Reactive nitrogen (Nr) within smoke plumes plays important roles in the production of ozone,
the formation of secondary aerosols, and deposition of fixed N to ecosystems. The Western …

In October–November 2011 we measured trace gas emission factors from seven prescribed
fires in South Carolina (SC), US, using two Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) …

Wildfire activity is predicted to increase with global climate change, resulting in longer fire
seasons and larger areas burned. The emissions from fires are highly variable owing to …

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit
area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the …

Western US wildlands experience frequent and large-scale wildfires which are predicted to
increase in the future. As a result, wildfire smoke emissions are expected to play an …

Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are large contributors to fine‐particle loadings and
radiative forcing but are often represented crudely in global models. We have implemented …
