The North American RVFSP-WAC plans to leverage several existing products, including wildfire danger risk maps and hotspots locations from Natural Resources Canada, ECCC’s operational North American air quality forecasts, which include near-real-time (NRT) vegetation fire emissions and smoke plume forecasts, and ECCC’s sub-seasonal temperature and precipitation anomalies forecasts. In addition, ECCC has started to collect multiple global and regional NRT smoke-related forecasts from various organizations such as ECMWF, NASA, NOAA, FMI and JMA with the objective of creating a multi-model ensemble smoke forecast over North America. This will include a daily performance analysis of these model forecasts compared to NRT surface observations.
