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,…

From the Conclusion: 'This analysis has presented a methodology for calculating values-at-risk, arguing that a market approach to assessing value is the most objective approach. Some resources are classified as 'intangible,' thus precluding a market-derived evaluation. These…

Three years of air quality data (1974—1976) were evaluated, with emphasis on total suspended particulates, in relation to the associated specific meteorological conditions, and to the observed smoke reports for the south Florida region. Characteristic weather situations were…

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…

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-…

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…

It is now well established that fire plays an important part as a periodic disturbing influence on many of the forest types of North America. The species composition of such forests has undergone selection as a result of the regularity of fires during their history so that the…

In a year of catastrophic wildland fires across the country, Alaska once again had the dubious honor of being host to the nation's largest wildland fire.

A method is proposed for estimating the weight of fuel burned (available fuel) by prescribed fires in southern pine stands. Weights of available fuel in litter alone and in litter plus understory materials can be estimated. Prediction equations were developed by regression…

Smoke from raging fires produced in the aftermath of a major nuclear exchange has been predicted to cause large decreases in surface temperatures. However, the extent of the decrease and even the sign of the temperature change depend on how the smoke is distributed with altitude…
