Estimation of Smoke Plume Height from Early Burning via Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

At present, the forest fires cause smoke and pollution problem in Chiang Mai that affects human, animal, and ecosystems. Over the past few years, air pollution from forest fire has increased. The resident in northern of Thailand faces problems with air pollution and deforestation. Protecting the forest fires and environmental is the one of top priority in solving this problem in northern of Thailand. Therefore, early burning is one of the solution that has been chosen to used in Chiang Mai forest fire prevention strategies.
