The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the summary:'Experimental study on the visibility through fire smoke was carried out. The relation among the brightness of sign, visual distance, and the extinction coefficient of smoke at the instant of obscuration threshold was obtained by using the smoke chamber. The…

The authors present scaling relationships for modeling pulsating fires. Data gathered from various sizes of pulsating fires compared favorably with the predicted relationships between fire diameter and pulsation frequency.

A theoretical model is constructed that represents quasi-steady fire spread in solid fuel arrays. The continuum representation employs descriptors that follow naturally from existing flame theory and that correspond to real observables. A set of 'debris conservation equations'…

The fire whirlwind, an erratic and violent phenomenon associated with the behavior of intense fires, may generate velocities comparable to those reached in tornadoes. All the conditions essential to the formation of fire whirlwinds can be readily produced in the laboratory on a…
