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…

The particulate plume from the power plant of Great Canadian Oil Sands, Ltd. was observed using a mobile laser radar (LIDAR). Thirteen Eulerian average cross sections were obtained from which the horizontal and vertical dispersion coefficients, plume rise and plume bearing were…

'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…

Local fire managers can use previous years' fire weather observations (including data from the National Fire Weather Library) to estimate probabilities of future days' falling within burning and smoke dispersal prescriptions. The computer programs can be used by field personnel…
