This project is providing forecasting capabilities for the NSF-sponsored Western wildfire Experiment for Cloud chemistry, Aerosol absorption and Nitrogen (WE-CAN) field campaign. WE-CAN is a major field intensive planned for summer 2018 and includes deployment of sophisticated atmospheric chemistry instrumentation on the NSF/NCAR C-130 to sample and systematically characterize the emissions and first day of evolution of western U.S. wildfire plumes. Planning for this field campaign is currently underway and forecasting capabilities are urgently needed to ensure the success of the campaign. The WE-CAN field campaign will provide new information about emissions from wildfires, including information on the emissions of major toxic species in smoke plumes, the evolution of fine particulate matter in the plume over time, and the interactions of smoke particles with nearby clouds. The support for WE-CAN provided by this effort includes the use of (1) the real-time High Resolution Rapid Refresh smoke (HRRR-Smoke) modeling system, and (2) the FxCAVE (Forecast-extended Common AWIPS Visualization Environment) virtual client that delivers operational National Weather Service (NWS) forecast observations and forecast models. There will be at least 4 graduate student forecasters involved in WE-CAN.

该项目正在为NSF赞助的云化学、气溶胶吸收和氮的西部野火实验（WE-CAN）现场活动提供预报能力。 WE-CAN是计划于2018年夏季进行的一项主要现场密集型项目，包括在NSF/NCAR C-130上部署复杂的大气化学仪器，以采样和系统地表征美国西部野火羽流的排放和第一天的演变。 目前正在规划这一实地运动，迫切需要预报能力，以确保运动的成功。 WE-CAN实地活动将提供关于野火排放的新信息，包括关于烟羽中主要有毒物质排放、烟羽中细颗粒物随时间的演变以及烟颗粒与附近云层相互作用的信息。这项工作提供的WE-CAN支持包括使用（1）实时高分辨率快速刷新烟雾（HRRR-烟雾）建模系统，以及（2）FxCAVE（预报扩展通用AWIPS可视化环境）虚拟客户端，提供业务国家气象局（NWS）预报观测和预报模型。将有至少4名研究生预测员参与WE-CAN。
