* Metric Name: Total Potential Smoke Emission - High Severity * Tier: 1 * Data Vintage: 2022 * Unit Of Measure: Pounds of PM2.5 per acre summed over the both flaming and smoldering phases. SpatialFOFEM/LANDFIRE potential smoke emissions reflect the total PM2.5 that would be expected to be produced for each pixel for a fire burning under either high or low fire severity conditions. High severity conditions are thought to reflect the emissions that would be expected for a severe summer wildfire and moderate severity conditions are thought to reflect the emissions that would be expected for a prescribed burn. Potential smore emissions do not consider the probability of a fire or the transport of smoke to more distant locations; they only reflect what would happen locally if a pixel were to burn. * Creation Method: Calculated with SpatialFOFEM (First Order Fire Effects Model), embedded in FlamMap 6.2. Fuels are LCP and FCCS 2022 from LANDFIRE (LCP_LF2022_FBFM40_220_CONUS and LF2022_FCCS_220_CONUS). Conditions for high severity are Pacific coast, Summer, 75% branch consumed, Fuel moisture 20% Duff, 6% 10 hr, 10% 1000 hr, based on very dry conditions per FOFEM 6-7 user guide, page 79 and also FOFEM6 tutorial Sierra burn example (). * Credits: SpatialFOFEM data outputs (CECS) \--A spatial implementation of the point-scale FOFEM (a First Order Fire Effects Model) Rocky Mountain Research Station \--USDA Forest Service
