This report outlines the development (section 2) and testing (section 3) of a simple mathematical dispersion model, — based on Gaussin plume models for air polution, — for predicting smoke concentration and visibility reduction downwind from prescribed burns in forests. The data…

Emissions from prescribed fire vary geographically. In the Northeast, for example, prescribed fires are rare. In other sections, e.g., the southern Coastal Plain, meteorological conditions, terrain, and light fuel loads minimize atmospheric concentrations of emissions. The…

Man began an intensive program to keep fire out of the woods about 70 years ago. Periodic ground fires once common in western pine forests were reduced, and a stand type that had been open, thrifty, and fairly resistant to wildfires lost those characteristics. The current status…

Generalizations of the 'opacity method' of analyzing visible smoke-plume diffusion are presented. The horizontal dispersion length, sigma-y, is derived from the outline of a plume having an arbitrary vertical concentration distribution. The vertical dispersion length, sigma-z,…

A note on the features and control of the ground (soil fires that occur at intervals of 5-8 yr in the Soviet Far East. The winter ground fires occur when the snow cover is incomplete, after a warm dry autumn and when the water table is low. These fires often do not affect the…

Flexible polyurethane foams that are char formers are capable of smoldering combustion. The smoldering process is an oxygen-limited, heterogenous oxidation process that slowly transforms the foam to a brittle, black replica of itself; for the foam examined here, the resultant…

In order to estimate the production of charcoal and the atmospheric emissions of trace gases volatilized by burning we have estimated the global amounts of biomass which are affected by fires. We have roughly calculated annual gross burning rates ranging between about 5 Pg and 9…
