[1] Southern African wildfires are a globally significant source of trace gases and aerosols. Estimates of southern African wildfire fuel consumption have varied from hundreds to thousands of teragrams (Tg), and better-constrained estimates are required to properly assess the…

A 1.3 hectare field containing hawthorn and alder was burned in April 1973. Post-burn analysis of 20 hawthorns and 20 alders determined the fire susceptibility of these species. Of those sampled, 80 percent of the trees less than 3 centimeters in basal diameter were killed. The…

A simple, inexpensive, and relatively accurate photographic method for date collection is described. Objects of interest are triangulated from films taken simultaneously at two camera positions. Accumulated synchronization and measurement errors amounted to 0.2 - 0.5 meter. The…

Smoke from both prescribed fires and wildfires can, under certain meteorological conditions, become entrapped within shallow layers of air near the ground at night and get carried to unexpected destinations as a combination of weather systems push air through interlocking ridge-…

Combustion of woody material produces and releases water, but the effects of this water on the atmospheric circulation created by a wildfire are rarely recognized, let alone understood. This paper presents observational data and basic physical arguments to support the hypothesis…
