From the introduction letter ... 'This publication deals with fire, a significant force in the forest environment. Depending upon land management objectives for a specific area, plus a host of environmental variables, fire will sometimes be an enemy, at times a friend, and…

The control of wildfires in forested areas may not always be a desirable objective since certain benefits can result that are important enough to warrant prescribed burning in some cases. Included in these benefits is the control of harmful insects and plant diseases and of…

The development of the smoke cloud from a summer wildfire in a forest area was studied on a radar screen. In conjunction with photographs taken at the same time, it has been possible to follow the variations in height of both the top and bottom of the smoke column as it was…

During the last 17 days of April 1971, smoke from wildfires in the Florida Everglades drifted over the east coast of southern Florida. Smoke restricted visibilities 67.9% of the time at Palm Beach International Airport, and aircraft operations were 11.9% less than for an…

Potential temperature analysis supplies needed information that is not obtainable by other methods of graphical analysis. Terrain surface maps and large-scale cross sections are constructed by using data from weather stations, raobs, and aircraft soundings. Interpretation of the…

Although bush fires have been common in Australia for many thousands of years (cf. for example, Bermingham, Packham, and Vines, 1971) little is known about the smoke they produce. However, if the practice of prescribed burning - already employed as a routine method of reducing…
