Map of the area modeled in this study

Backward-trajectory model of air that arrived at the Long Island Sound on August 16-17, 2018 . Each line represents the backward-trajectory for an air parcel arriving every three hours throughout the course of the day. The location of fires on August 9 (when most trajectories intersect the wildfire zone on the West Coast) is depicted with red triangles.
