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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Hawkes, Lawson
Fuel complexes resulting from power-saw spacing in young coastal Douglas-fir and interior lodgepole pine stands were quantitatively assessed for loading and duration of hazard. Fuel appraisal data were combined with fire weather regimes to derive fire behavior predictions for…

Thermal generation of combustible vapors has been measured up to 500°C for green Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, and lodgepole pine foliage. The relative contributions to combustible products are given for ether, benzene-ethanol, and total extractives, as well as for holocellulose…

The application of weather modification techniques as a fire control tool was field tested in Alaska during the summers of 1969 and 1970. The 1969 trial was primarily exploratory. Data gathered indicated clouds or cloud-systems exist in interior Alaska which are amenable to…

Fire management demands that we (1) mke the best use of whatis known to us, (2) add to our knowledge, (3) assess the possibilites andd the probabilities offuture events, (4) obtain meaningful pulic choices.

From the text:'The goal of research on the behaviour of forest fires is presumably to be able to predict with reasonable assurance how a fire will behave in any stated weather and forest fuel. This goal does not, of course, have an absolute form since the prediction of forest…

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 k--e model of turbulence is used and an upstream weighted scheme…

An experimental and theoretical examination of the mass burning and evaporation-rate structure of a bed of fine solid-fuel elements is made for several cases of quasi-steady firespread waves propagating along and into the surface of the bed. Several distinct regimes are found to…

Model experiments were performed in a preliminary study of the behaviour of a small ground fire in the lee of a tree. The fires were simulated by alcohol wick burners and the trees by vertical pipes. Data were taken up to RE = 20,000 with the burners located downwind of the…

In this paper, we offer a general overview of the design and status of the NFIL. We discuss the structure of the Fuels Inventory Database, the function of the various database management programs available in the Management Software Package, and the current contents of the…

Because standard methods for computing the optimal rotation age of a forest stand assume complete knowledge of the stand value at any future time, a forest manager must treat his estimates of future value as if they were completely accurate. Minor, unpredictable fluctuations…

Implementation of Forest Fire Weather Forecasting requires the development for a procedure for obtaining representative wind speed observations for large areas. In this paper, a procedure is outlined whereby surface observations can be used to obtain area averages. The procedure…
