Logging slash on 73 clearcuts in the western larch/Douglas-fir forest of western Montana was broadcast burned over a wide range of environmental conditions. A broad array of fire intensities and effects was achieved. A severe wildfire was also evaluated and compared to the…

The possibility of applying infrared imagery to the study of a large, hot plume materialized by carbon particles resulting from the incomplete combustion of fuel oil is investigated. In a specific case (the PROSERPINE experiment), due to the high carbon particle content, the…

Experimental, free-burning wood fires larger than 5 ha were similar in convection column volume after the initial buoyant, ring-vortex rose from the ground. The fire generated strong vorticity patterns which propagated upward into the convection column. The rotation suppressed…
