Current state

Haze Sentinel is observing the Southern ASEAN fire–haze system for September 2026. No hotspot intensity, plume attribution, or exposure magnitude is asserted until live adapters complete a successful ingest. Absence of a populated count is not a claim that the air is clear.

What changed

No material change has been recorded against a prior canonical state. The first successful ingest will establish the baseline against which later deltas are measured.

Uncertainty

Fire type, peat involvement, official PSI, deposition flux, and ecological response are all unmeasured in this object until the relevant adapters or agencies provide evidence.

Hypotheses

  • If thermal-anomaly density rises in eastern Sumatra or Kalimantan and low-level winds have a component toward the Singapore–Johor corridor, modelled receptor PM may increase within hours to a day. This is a transport-plausibility hypothesis, not causation.

Alternative explanations

  • Local urban emissions can raise PM independently of transboundary haze.
  • Cloud cover and satellite scan geometry can suppress thermal-anomaly counts without reducing fire activity.
  • Modelled PM can diverge from official station measurements.
Marine Sentinel handoff

Awaiting a successful ingest cycle with FIRMS and meteorological context.

No Marine handoff has been issued yet. Deposition flux is not asserted. The investigation remains open.

TTRP+ system chain

Adapted relationship model, not a claim to reproduce Tongway’s original scientific framework. Roles are contextual: fire may be a pulse on land and a trigger for the atmosphere.

State

  • observedDry-season observational window

    Seasonality is context, not a detection.

  • derivedCanonical event object opened

    Object created so later evidence can attach without rewriting history.

Trigger

  • hypothesisedRainfall deficit / drought (watch)

    Not asserted until a drought indicator adapter is connected.

  • hypothesisedENSO / IOD state (watch)

    Climate-state adapters are Phase 2. No ENSO claim is made here.

  • hypothesisedIgnition / agricultural burning (watch)

    Thermal anomalies are not a land-use or liability attribution.

Transfer

  • hypothesisedAtmospheric advection of particulates

    Wind context from Open-Meteo is a plausibility check, not a trajectory model.

  • hypothesisedDry/wet deposition to soils and waters

    Deposition is a candidate pathway, not an observed flux in this MVP.

Reserve

  • hypothesisedPeat carbon and drained peat landscapes

    Peatland layer awaits a licensed dataset. Presence of peat in the region is well established in literature; this object does not map it.

  • hypothesisedHistorical haze-season memory

    Schema supports analogues; the engine is not yet built.

Pulse

  • hypothesisedSatellite thermal-anomaly pulse

    Populated from FIRMS when ingest succeeds. Thermal anomaly ≠ peat fire.

  • hypothesisedRegional haze episode (watch)

    Not declared until evidence supports an episode, including official statements where available.

Threshold

  • hypothesisedReceptor PM2.5 material rise

    Provisional watch if modelled PM2.5 ≥ 55 µg/m³ at a receptor station. This is not a health standard determination.

  • hypothesisedHotspot count / density step-change

    Provisional: >25% rise versus previous ingest AND count ≥ 200 in AOI.

Feedback

  • hypothesisedEnforcement and land-use feedback (watch)

    Not observed in MVP.

Response

  • hypothesisedPublic-health and operational response (watch)

    Haze Sentinel does not issue operational commands. Decision context only.

Outcome

  • hypothesisedOutcome not yet evaluated

    The object remains open so outcomes can be attached later.

Learning

  • hypothesisedLearning record not yet written

    A retrospective review state will be used when the episode ends.

Investigations

  • Is the September 2026 haze episode likely to produce material particulate deposition into sensitive marine or coastal systems?

    The marine pathway is open. A versioned Haze→Marine handoff object is issued on each ingest. Deposition flux is not asserted until Marine (or a later model) can attach catchment/rainfall evidence.
