Under the nuclear winter scenario, large wildland fires are expected to contribute to a general smoke plume and are considered potential analogues for the behavior of gigantic palls. As a means of testing the reasonableness of current estimates of a wildland fire contribution,…

That the capacity of global models to predict the future can be well tested by their capacity to reconstruct past events is generally agreed, as is the definition of normal winter as the numerical equivalent of >5x103 degree-days (with the degrees in Fahrenheit). One-…

The rate of rise of the convection columns above experimental fires depends on the rate of average atmospheric temperature lapse in the lower 1,000 meters. The type of fuels used in these fires will probably produce a mass fire if the burning area is 27 plus or minus 2 hectares…
