Mapping forest fires through smoke

Forest fires have been photographed from the air with infra-red film, and observations wiht an infra-red image converter have been used to map wild fires through heavy smoke. © Institute of Foresters of Australia. Abstract reproduced by permission.

Project fire scan fire mapping final report

An airborne infrared line scanner sensitive to the 3- to 5-micron spectral region mapped 38 forest fires during the 1963, 1964, and 1966 fire seasons. The imagery obtained provideed information about the fire perimeter, relative intensity of burning areas, and spot fire location…

Particle sizes in bushfire smoke

Samples were collected from smoke clouds above forest fires, and the sizes of the smoke particles were determined. Most particles appeared to be approximately 0.1 in diameter. © Institute of Foresters of Australia. Abstract reproduced by permission.

Evaluating winds aloft by a simplified field technique

A field technique for evaluating winds aloft is described. It can be used at remote places-even at the site of a wildfire. It has proved accurate as any known single theodolite technique, and is time-saving because the winds aloft are evaluated in miles per hour from direct…

A meso-meteorological investigation of five forest fires

Results are presented of aircraft and ground-based measurements which were made in 1966 near five forest fires in the south-western part of Western Australia.On the three occasions when the wind was reasonably steady and valid comparisons were possible, the calculated amount of…

Loss of nitrogen from the forest floor by burning

Burning experiments in the laboratory on samples of forest floor (L + F + H organic layers) from an old-growth Tsuga heterophylla/Pseudotsuga taxifolia forest, indicated a 25-64% loss of N from the forest floor at temperatures of 300-700 C. Burning increased the N concentration…

A study of field burning under varying environmental conditions

A field study on grass field burning was conducted in the Willamette Valley of Oregon during the summer of 1965. Approximately 230,000 acres of grass field are burned in the valley during August and September. Serious air pollution problems result from this burning. The purposes…
