Extended Abstract (452K)J3.2
Operational Evaluation of BlueSkyRAINS

The BlueSky modeling framework brings together the latest state of the science in modeling for smoke prediction. It includes data from the MM5 mesoscale meteorological model, emissions, fuel consumption, atmospheric dispersion and trajectories.
Users frequently contact the development team with questions about specific cases and how the model preformed or should be applied. We have collected a number of these cases for use in preliminary evaluation of the modeling framework's performance. This presentation will bring together several of these real world cases to provide a qualitative evaluation of the usefulness of the BlueSky modeling system in solving operational problems and planning for smoke management.
