When in-situ burning is conducted, the Unified Command may use SMART to obtain real-time data on particulate concentration trends downwind of the burn. SMART relies on mobile and flexible teams to conduct monitoring for in-situ burning operations. When in-situ burning is considered, the teams are notified and arrive on location. Ideally, all the instruments are checked and calibrated together.
