Heat flux assumptions contribute to overestimation of wildfire smoke injection into the free troposphere

Injections of wildfire smoke plumes into the free troposphere impact air quality, yet model forecasts of injections are poor. Here, we use aircraft observations obtained during the 2019 western US ...
