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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 Research Summary: 'Remote Automatic Weather Stations (FAWS) have been developed and are now operational across the nation in a variety of geographical areas. RAWS acquire, process, store, and transmit accumulative precipitation, wind-speed, wind direction, air…

From the text ... 'It is now recognized that indiscriminate slash burning has no place in current forest management. We must improve prescribed burning practice to accomplish at reasonable cost what no other treatment can provide on many sites. The job is to rationally develop…

FOCUS (Fire Operational Characteristics Using Simulation) is a computer simulation model for evaluating alternative fire management plans. This final report provides a broad overview of the FOCUS system, describes two major modules-fire suppression and cost, explains the role in…

This manual provides program writeups for two separate but related computer programs: RXWTHR and RXBURN. These programs are components of a system designed to aid fire managers in predicting the probable occurrence of desired prescribed fire weather conditions. The programs are…

A numerical model which can be used to study some aspects of mass fires is presented. The k-ϵ model of turbulence and the flame sheet model of combustion are employed. To account for the 'unmixed-ness' of the fuel and oxidant, a fraction of oxygen is treated as inert while…

A one-dimensional model is developed for the structure of the wind-blown, turbulent flame from a line fire in which buoyancy is the principal source of vertical momentum. A one-step, second-order bimolecular reaction between fuel and air is used, with rate proportional to the…

Experimental, free-burning wood fires larger than 5 ha were similar in convection column volume after the initial buoyant, ring-vortex rose from the ground. The fire generated strong vorticity patterns which propagated upward into the convection column. The rotation suppressed…
