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-…

Mass fires are being investigated through a series of large-scale test fires. Preliminary results indicate: (a) air flow patterns that create eddies can result in fire vortices when fires is present; (b) the lower part of the convection column consists of a series of small…

A cinematographic film of a tornado which formed over a severe bushfire in 1962 in Victoria has been analysed. Notable findings are that a flame rose in the core to a height of 260 feet, that the core velocities were up to 205 m.p.h. vertically, at least 20-30 m.p.h.…

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…

The control of large fires is a problem of continuing concern to the Forest Service, other public agencies, and private owners of forest and rangeland. A few large fires each year account for all but a small share of the Nation's forest fire losses. In time of war, this problem…

Prescribed fires are used on about 155,000 acres of land each year in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon and Washington. Particulate matter emission factors can be altered by selecting optimal burning conditions to improve combustion efficiency. This paper reports on the…

Post-harvest burning of straw and stubble in grass fields is the most valuable cultural practice in grass-seed production in Oregon. Unfortunately, smoke from burning fields sometimes creates a nuisance to others who understandably question the idea. This discussion is presented…
