The smoke plume billowing from the Alexander Mountain Fire west of Loveland – which had grown to 950 acres just before 8 p.m. Monday – was visible on doppler radar.
According to the National Weather Service, radar can detect smoke during dry conditions. The smoke particles bouncing off the radar beam appear like precipitation on weather radar. It’s a “routine” phenomenon, according to a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and other meteorological researchers published in 2020. According to the study, weather radar can actually be a useful tool in wildfire detection.
“Their high sensitivity enables detecting and tracking plumes, and helps management of wildfires,” the study reads. “Detection of wildfires by weather radar is on average 5 min after ignition compared to the 15 min delay achieved with human observers.
