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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Forecasting for forest fire services

From the introduction:'This Technical Note is an attempt to summarize what has been done in a number of areas of the world to provide adequate forecasts of fire danger in terms of past, present and forecast weather conditions. It is not intended to be complete operational manual…

Radiative transfer effects in natural convection above fires

Murgai
This paper describes the results of examining the influence of radiative heat transfer on turbulent natural convection above fires in an atmosphere of constant potential temperature, under both the 'opaque' and 'transparent' approximations. It turns out that on the basis of the…

Mathematical study of wood-burning mechanisms, prepared for publication in the AIChE journal

Weatherford
The mechanism of wood burning has been subjected to mathematical analysis. Extensive finite-difference computations for symmetrical and nonsymmetrical heating of flat wood slabs have provided results which appear to shed additional light upon the mechanisms leading to stable…

Wet seasons in the United States: how wet and how frequent

Visher
From the text ... 'Two maps for each of the four seasons reveal sharp contrasts in the amount of rainfall received in various parts of the United States in wet seasons. Two other maps for each season show the percentage of the seasons which receive large totals, 15 and 20 inches…

The effect of exposure on slash inflammability

Williams
From the text... 'The final conclusion was, then that for the type of slash studied there is no need to adjust the slash hazard index for exposure through that part of the fire season when wildfires are more likely to occur but, if the ratings are to be used as guides in fall…

A study of natural convection above a line fire

Lee, Emmons
The behaviour of a natural convection plume above a line fire is studied both theoretically and experimentally. In the theoretical treatment, a turbulent plume above a steady two-dimensional finite source of heated fluid in a uniform ambient fluid is investigated. By the use of…

Some experiments on buoyant diffusion flames

Thomas, Webster, Raftery
In flames produced by freely burning fuel, buoyancy may play an important role in determining the speed of the gases in the flame zone and hence the flame height. Measurements have been made of the height of flames from burning cribs of wood on a square horizontal base and a few…
