“…These experiments were conducted at the US Forest Service's Fire Science Laboratory in Missoula MT in 2006 and 2007. Results from several subsets of these experiments include particle and gas emissions (McMeeking et al, 2009;Chakrabarty et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2006Chen et al, , 2007Engling et al, 2006;Smith et al, 2009;Laskin et al, 2009), smoke marker properties (Sullivan et al, 2008), particle physical and optical properties (Hopkins et al, 2007;Lewis et al, 2009;Levin et al, 2010), aerosol hygroscopicity, cloud condensation and ice nucleation ability Carrico et al, 2008Carrico et al, , 2010Petters et al, 2009;Demott et al, 2009). Burns were performed on fuels that represented biomass found in locations often involved in wild and prescribed fires, such as in the western and southeastern United States (McMeeking et al, 2009).…”
