Conclusions
HYSPLIT trajectories verified the path of the Sherpa Fire
smoke plume determined by biomass burning tracers.
The strengthening of the sea breeze could aid in
transport of smoke.
CO2/CH3CN aided in quantifying spatial similarities of
smoke between Areas 1 and 2, and temporal evolution
between Areas 3 and 4.
