Some meteorological aspects of three intense forest fires

We report a study of three intense forest fires, all of area about 30 km2, in which convection extended to heights ranging from 2150 m to 4300 m. The observations taken comprise surface-level wind, temperature, and humidity; mean temperature, temperature fluctuations, and…
