Sensor Webs in Wildfire and Smoke Applications Sensor networks of surface, aerial, and surface sensors provide timely data for: Identifying fire location, fire progression, smoke coverage Forecasting fire behavior, smoke dispersion, and air quality Retasking sensors for making new measurements Retrospective analysis and assessment Validating forecast models Issuing public health alerts Air quality standard violation waivers One application that is serving as a testbed for coupling processing services with access services is wildfire and smoke. It is a domain that includes diverse data sources (from satellites, UASes, and surface sensors) and with many different “end users” of the data being used in various applications.
