Fig. 1: Plume height and age as a function of DC-8 flight altitude for the BD sampled fire plumes.

Panel a presents these parameters for the Sheep fire, panel b for the Shade fire, panel c for the North Hills fire, panel d for the Tucker fire, panel e for the Barren Hill fire, panel f for the Left Hand fire, panel g for the Ridgetop fire, panel h for the Lick Creek fire, panel i for the second sampling of the Lick Creek fire, panel j for the Williams Flats fire, panel k for the second sampling of the Williams Flats fire, and panel l for the Horsefly fire. Note, the y axes are not the same. The age of each plume is presented, as described in Table S1. The age and height of the plume were linked to the dominant combustion phase of each examined fire.
