Climate change induced drought and aridity will continue to increase wildfire size and
intensity. To help reduce the adverse impacts of climate-change driven wildfires, we
need:

• More ground-based and satellite measurements of the atmosphere and fire conditions

• Continued development of models that can simulate and forecast wildfire smoke
  transport, fire behavior, and other related physical processes

• A better understanding of how wildfire smoke deteriorates air quality and impacts
  human health

• More information on how climate change and human development near the
  wildland-urban interface is increasing wildfire risk

This panel will discuss how improved measurements and smoke transport models can
improve air quality forecasts and reduce human exposure to wildfire smoke.
