Heavy smoke from forest fires in the Amazon was observed to reduce cloud droplet size and so delay the onset of precipitation from 1.5 kilometers above cloud base in pristine clouds to more than 5 kilometers in polluted clouds and more than 7 kilometers in pyro-clouds.…

The problem of eye safety in lidar-assisted wildland fire detection and investigation is considered as a problem of reduction of the hazard range within which the laser beam is dangerous for direct eye exposure. The dependence of this hazard range on the lidar characteristics is…

Fire has been a significant ecosystem process in the Southeast for thousands of years. It kept slash pine in the wetter parts of the flatwoods pine forests historically. Today, when slash pine covers a much larger landscape, fire still plays an integral role in its management.…
