Summary

This comprehensive map displays air quality and smoke plume information through a diverse network of government sources, utilizing data from the Western Regional Climate Center, AirSis, AirNow, and PurpleAir sensors. These platforms collectively provide the necessary geographic and environmental data to illustrate the severity of fire-related emissions and atmospheric conditions. Key sources include the National Interagency Fire Center's monitoring capabilities, which tracks fire dynamics, alongside the NOAA Hazard Mapping System to identify hazardous zones. Additionally, the system integrates AirSis and PurpleAir sensors to capture real-time sensor readings and historical logs, ensuring a robust dataset that is valid as far back as 2016. The visualization helps meteorologists and firefighters accurately assess risks by visualizing the movement and intensity of smoke plumes across the United States and its territories.
