Replying to @joejoezz
From the units this looks like what's in the entire atmosphere (added up vertically) rather than what's near the surface. Near-surface smoke seems more interesting. (e.g., for HRRR Smoke model see rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/H… )

Yeah, we’ve been having high levels of total vertically integrated smoke in Nebraska the past couple days, but haven’t noticed it in person at all.
