A coupled modeling system for connecting prescribed fire activity data through CMAQ for simulating regional scale air quality

Abstract

The southeastern United Stats - states extending from Virginia to Texas and from the Ohio River southward - (hereafter called the "South") compromise one of the most productive forested areas in the United States. Although the South represents only 24 percent of the U.S. land area, approximately 200 million acres (81 million ha) or 40 percent of the Nation's forests lie within this region (SRFRR, 1996).
