<li>Developing a Numerical Weather Prediction derived Fire Weather Forecast Model to assess the moisture content within varied layers of the forest fuels (vegetation) for daily use by operational wildland firefighters.
<ul>
<li>This hourly forest fuel moisture forecast is being integrated into a fire growth and fuel emissions model to aid in smoke forecast predictions in the Bluesky Canada smoke forecast system.</li>
<li>A webpage was created for displaying the Fire Weather Forecast products, associated meteorology, and current wildfire locations on a zoomable map with popup point forecast functionality. Visit <a href="https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/fireweather/">Fire Weather Forecast</a> for more information.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Constructed low-cost, in situ instruments to observe and profile the vertical concentration of PM2.5 in wildfire smoke plumes. These disposable Particulate Matter Sensors, calibrated against an industry-standard GRIMM OPC, provide a low-cost way to collect data to better understand wildfire smoke dynamics and forecasting. The sensors, built with off-the-shelf components, cost approximately $100 to build. Visit <a href="https://cerodell.github.io/fire_sensors/">Fire Sensors</a> for more information.</li>

<li>Analyze and interpret weather-observation data,</li>
<li>Interpret numerical weather prediction models,</li>
<li>Apply meteorological principles to fire behavior,</li>
<li>Compare alternative fire spread/danger outcomes given weather forecast uncertainty,</li>
<li>Develop fire response plan of the day materials (as if they were professional fire-weather forecasters).</li>
