Smoke concentrations in micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m**3) are represented as light brown
(low concentrations) on the left-hand side of the Legend across the top of this map to red (high
concentrations) on the right-hand side.

This Southern Rockies (New Mexico and Arizona) Wildfire Smoke Forecast map is from http://www.nws.noaa.gov/aq/sectors/conus.php#, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) Web site.
Surface and column-average concentrations of predicted smoke for large fires are displayed as 1-hour averages (in micrograms per cubic meter), updated each day. Fire locations are provided by the NOAA / NESDIS Hazard Mapping System (http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/FIRE/). For further information, see the Air Resources Laboratory (http://www.arl.noaa.gov/smoke/) Web site.
