August 2006 Forest Fires: Case study using Testbed observations Noora Eresmaa1 Minna Rantamäki1 Mostamandy Suleiman2 1 Finnish Meteorological Institute 2 Photo: H. Nyman 17.9.2018

Motivation Health effects caused by the smog Smog was in the public gaze in August If we want to forecast something, we need to understand the phenomenon Figure 1. The synoptic situation at 21 August 00UTC over Europe 17.9.2018

Data Surface observations: Wind parameters Rain location and intensity; precipitation rate Temperature Doppler lidar SODAR RASS and ceilometer? Regular observations from Finland, Russia and Estonia YTV and FMI concentration observations 17.9.2018

Figure 2. A 24-h period of ceilometer echo intensity observations at Vallila, Helsinki, 21 August 2006. The height of the MHs determined by the ceilometer and radiosoundings (Richardson number method) are superimposed on the ceilometer raw echo data. 17.9.2018

Things to learn: How useful are the Testbed observations? Can we use the Testbed data in long or regional range pollution transport (e.g. smog) episodes? How to use Testbed data better? Better understanding in mesometeorology 17.9.2018
