Cover Story: Fire and smoke models are essential tools for wildland fire decision-making and planning. The Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE) is designed to collect integrated observations from large wildland fires and provide evaluation datasets for existing operational systems and new model development. The campaign includes a study plan to guide the suite of required measurements in forested sites representative of many prescribed burning programs in the Southeastern US and high-intensity fires in the Western US. We provide an overview of the proposed experiment and recommendations for key measurements, which can serve as a template for additional large-scale experimental campaigns to advance fire science and operational fire and smoke models.
