A detailed set of data was compiled on 20 large fire whirlwinds observed at 27 prescribed burns conducted in Ontario. There appear to be two types of such whirlwinds: one occurs in pairs on the leeward side of the convection column and the other is created after the entire…

Airborne measurements of 13 trace gases from seven forest fires in North America are used to determine their average emission factors. The emission factors are then used to estimate the contributions of biomass ubrning to the worldwide fluxes of these gases. The estimate for NH3…
