Name: 2008 Science Accomplishments Report of the Pacific Northwest Research Station
Description: This report highlights significant research findings and accomplishments by scientists at the Pacific Northwest (PNW) Research Station during fiscal year 2008. The mission of the PNW Research Station is to generate and communicate scientific knowledge...

Name: 2010 Science accomplishments report of the Pacific Northwest Research Station
Description: In 2010, station researchers provided land managers and policymakers with critical information related to ecological processes, environmental threats, forest management, and use of natural resources. The station also capitalized on opportunities to...

Name: A carbon budget for forests of the conterminous United States
Description: The potential need for national-level comparisons of greenhouse gas emissions, and the desirability of understanding terrestrial sources and sinks of carbon, has prompted interest in quantifying national forest carbon budgets. In this study, we link a...

Name: A case study of pyro-convection using transport model and remote sensing data
Description: Summer 2004 saw severe forest fires in Alaska and the Yukon Territory that were mostly triggered by lightning strikes. The area burned (>2.7 x 10^6 ha) in the year 2004 was the highest on record to date in Alaska. Pollutant emissions from the fires...

Name: A clear picture of smoke: BLUESKY smoke forecasting
Description: Over the last several decades, the overall air quality goal in the United States has been to protect public health and clear skies by reducing emissions. At the same time, however, the risk of catastrophic fire has been rising in forests around the...

Name: A comparison between buoyant vortex rings and vortex pairs
Description: In this paper it is shown how earlier results for buoyant vortex rings may be extended to describe the corresponding two-dimensional case, which arises in the theory of bent-over plumes. It is again assumed that in uniform surroundings the circulation...

Name: A computer wind model for predicting smoke movement
Description: We are developing a numerical wind model to simulate airflow near the ground at night over terrain typical of the Piedmont of the southeastern United States. The purpose is to improve understanding of night winds and provide more accurate prediction...

Name: A finite-difference model of temperatures and heat flow within a tree stem
Description: The authors present a finite-difference numerical model of heat flow within a horizontal section of a tree stem. Processes included in the model are solar radiative heating, infrared emission and absorption, convective heat exchange between tree...

Name: A meso-meteorological investigation of five forest fires
Description: Results are presented of aircraft and ground-based measurements which were made in 1966 near five forest fires in the south-western part of Western Australia. On the three occasions when the wind was reasonably steady and valid comparisons were...

Name: A method for smoke marker measurements and its potential application for determining the contribution of biomass burning from wildfires and prescribed fires to ambient PM2.5 organic carbon
Description: Biomass burning is an important source of particulate organic carbon (OC) in the atmosphere. Quantifying this contribution in time and space requires a means of routinely apportioning contributions of smoke from biomass burning to OC. Smoke marker...
