Their plumes are three times as dense with aerosol-forming fine particles as previously believed. For the first time, researchers have flown an orchestra of modern instruments through brutishly turbulent wildfire plumes to measure their emissions in real time. They have also exposed other never before measured toxins.</font></p></div><dl class="meta hidden-xs dl-horizontal" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-right: 110px;"><dt class="yellow" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.42857; float: left; width: auto; clear: left; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; text-transform: uppercase; border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; border-color: rgb(255, 177, 52); padding-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 12px; min-width: 100px;"><font color="#000000" class="">JOURNAL</font></dt><dd style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.42857; margin-left: 100px;" class=""><em style="box-sizing: border-box;" class=""><font color="#000000" class="">Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres</font></em></dd></dl></a><div class=""><h1 class="article-header__title" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.421em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 1.2; clear: left; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-position: 0px 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Airborne measurements of western U.S. wildfire emissions: Comparison with prescribed burning and air quality implications</span></h1></div><div class=""><a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016JD026315/abstract;jsessionid=FA8A6E6BE8F67D812D4869BB9D063D99.f04t01" class="">http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016JD026315/abstract;jsessionid=FA8A6E6BE8F67D812D4869BB9D063D99.f04t01</a></div><div class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div><div class=""><div class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="">
