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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This paper describes a finite difference experiment to simulate the transient development of the convection column above a strip of uniform high temperature source in a stratified uniform cross flow atmosphere. The κ-ε model of turbulence is used and an upstream weighted scheme…

Within the past decade, satellite pictures have shown persistent cloud patterns which indicate that the flow in the atmospheric planetary boundary layer is often organized into helical secondary circulations aligned parallel to the mean flow. Theory and observation agree that…

This publication provides guidelines for planning and managing smoke from prescribed firs to achieve air quality requirements through improved smoke management practices. The guide focuses on national smoke management principles; however, for maximum use and effectiveness, local…

Open sources are those stationary sources of air pollution too great in extent to be controlled through enclosure or ducting. Open sources of atmospheric particles include: wind erosion, tilling, and prescribed burning of agricultural cropland; surface mining and wind erosion of…

Stylized fuel models, or numerical descriptions of fuel arrays, are used as inputs to fire behavior simulation models. These fuel models are often chosen on the basis of generalized fuel descriptions, which are related to field observations. Site-specific observations of fuels…

Twelve forest fuels that varied widely in nitrogen content were burned in a thermogravimetric system, and nitrogen oxide production was analyzed by chemiluminescence. The effects of fuel nitrogen concentration, available oxygen, flow rate, and heating rate on nitrogen oxide…

A keynote speaker has a unique advantage. Somewhat like a historian, he can look backward in time and also discuss the present. Unlike the historian, he may also point to the future. A keynote speaker also can ramble more or less all over the countryside. He doesn't have to have…

A compilation of 11 papers in which authorities discuss the impacts of fire on wildlife habitat and wildlife populations. Presentations cover bobwhite quail, nongame birds, white-tailed deer, bighorn and Stone's sheep; and the response to burning of curlleaf cercocarpus, aspen,…

ANNOTATION: This paper presents an overview of sources and forms of raw materials for wood energy use and the types of machines available to convert them to the desired form for boiler fuel. Both the fuel source or raw material, and the combustion furnace will dictate the…

A simplified model for predicting total biomass consumption and particulate emission yield for slash burning in western Washington and western Oregon is developed by combining results from earlier studies by the Forest Fire and Atmospheric Sciences Research team. The model…

The COVER extension to the Stand Prognosis Model predicts tree canopy closure, crown volume, crown profile area, and foliage biomass within vertical height classes, and the probability of occurrence, height, and cover of shrubs in forest stands. The model may be used to produce…

The Chief of the USDA's Forest Service considers fire equal to such perennial controversies as inflation, herbicies, log exports and timber management practices. The revised USFS fire policy calls for fire management; the previous policy specified fire control. The ultimate…

The mathematical fire model can be effectively used to predict fire behavior in wildland fuels. In 131 experimental fires, nearly half of the observations were within 25 percent of over- or underprediction, and 95 percent of the differences between predicted and observed values…

A bibliography on forest and rangeland fire history containing 307 references was completed during the winter of 1979 and released in the spring of 1980 (Alexander 1979). Nearly five hundred copies have been issued to date. I have casually kept track of new and overlooked…
