Observation shows that three types of horizontal vortices may form during intense wildland fires. Two of these vortices are longitudinal relative to the ambient wind and the third is transverse. One of the longitudinal types, a vortex pair, occurs with extreme heat and low to…

Properties of bushfire smoke: the reduction in visibility resulting from prescribed fires in forests
Particulate concentrations in the smoke from a large prescribed fire in an Australian forest have been measured. Little agglomeration of the particles took place while the smoke was blown downwind. Using this information a simple model allows calculation of the minimum…

Most western state laws pertaining to prescribed burning do not specifically deal with range rehabilitation. Prescribed burns require a burning permit issued by the State Forester, or his equivalent, prior to ignition during closed fire seasons. Air quality standards have been…

Long-term effects of air pollutants in Finland have been studied by analyzing needle litter of pine (Pinus silvestris L.) and spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) in 13 stands from the years 1958 to 1982. A considerable annual increase in elemental concentrations was observed in the…
