Properties of bushfire smoke: the reduction in visibility resulting from prescribed fires in forests
Particulate concentrations in the smoke from a large prescribed fire in an Australian forest have been measured. Little agglomeration of the particles took place while the smoke was blown downwind. Using this information a simple model allows calculation of the minimum…
