My understanding is that contemporaneous weather radar[0] put the plume southeast at the time of the burn.

- hammock 4y agoThat is good info, thanks for sharing. Here is the model that NOAA created - and which has not been officially released to the public yet: https://twitter.com/FalconryFinance/status/1625872327568420864 https://twitter.com/FalconryFinance/status/16258723275684208...
- schiffern 4y agoThanks, I had not seen that. On the journalism side, the source seems to be extremely alarmist,[0] so I doubt much skepticism was practiced there. On the NOAA side, it would be interesting to see the full set of assumptions behind this model. I would presume the vast majority of emissions would occur during the burn itself (February 6th, afternoon), but this model seems to assume a significant (undiminished?) outflow at midnight on February 8th.
