Numerical simulation of tropospheric injection of biomass burning products by pyro-thermal plumes

The thermal plume model, a mass-flux scheme originally developed to represent the vertical transport by convective structures within the boundary layer, is adapted to the representation of plumes generated by fires, with the aim of estimating the height at which fire emissions are actually injected...
