Under the nuclear winter scenario, large wildland fires are expected to contribute to a general smoke plume and are considered potential analogues for the behavior of gigantic palls. As a means of testing the reasonableness of current estimates of a wildland fire contribution,…

From the text ... 'One area where great strides can be made is in the climatology of fire weather and its application to fire planning. Recent advances have been made in application of climatology to agriculture, and many of the same principles can be applied to forest fire…

That the capacity of global models to predict the future can be well tested by their capacity to reconstruct past events is generally agreed, as is the definition of normal winter as the numerical equivalent of >5x103 degree-days (with the degrees in Fahrenheit). One-…

'...With that impressionistic gallop through history as a backdrop, let me touch upon some of the technical material that has come to light as a result of urban fires and the research devoted to their prevention and cure. Perhaps the dominant area of uncertainty and of study…

[From the introduction] Fire has been an important disturbance process for millennia in the wildlands of the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington. Records from early explorers and on many older trees suggest that fires burned at frequent intervals in…

During summer 1969, fires burned 86,000 acres of the Kenai National Moose Range, south-central Alaska; two fires accounted for 99 percent of the burned area. Suppression efforts involved nearly 5,000 men; 135 miles of catline were constructed, and 822,000 gallons of retardant…

From the Conclusion ... 'An ecological review on air pollution as a whole, and in particular the relationship of control burning to such possible pollution warrants the following conclusions: (1) In spite of the tremendous amounts of pollutant materials released into the…
