About

Klamath County Public Health

The notifications are determined by looking at weather information like temperature, wind speed and mixing height. Mixing height provides a forecast for how smoke will disburse or leave the Klamath Basin.

When temperatures are low and the skies are clear, the cold air moves below the warm air and traps the smoke in the Basin. This is called an inversion. In this case, mixing heights are low.

During inversions, wood burning creates more smoke in the air. Burning is restricted to reduce the amount of smoke, which can harm the health of sensitive or vulnerable people.

KCPH strongly encourages the community to use heating sources that are not wood-burning during these times to keep good air quality.
