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…

Prescribed burn fireclimate survey 2-57

Prescribed Burn 2-57 was the second of four prescribed burns studied in 1957. In this burn we were particularly interested in studying air flow on the lee side of a ridge oriented approximately at right angles to the prevailing wind. Experience has shown that erratic fire…

Forced plumes

From the text ... 'This paper describes an investigation of the turbulent forced plumes generated by steady release of mass, momentum and buoyancy from a source situated in an extensive region of uniform or stably stratified fluid. The treatment, which is an extension of earlier…

Wildlife survival in brush burns

'Control burning of brush is now a common practice in range improvement in California. Frequently, before burning, some or all of the brush is mashed down with mechanical equipment or killed by chemical sprays. To learn how destructive such fires are to wildlife, a study was…

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…
