Book Synopsis Field Procedures for Verification and Adjustment of Fire Behavior Predictions by : Richard C. Rothermel
Download or read book Field Procedures for Verification and Adjustment of Fire Behavior Predictions written by Richard C. Rothermel and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of verifying predictions of fire behavior, primarily rate of spread, is discussed in terms of the fire situation for which predictions are made, and the type of fire where data are to be collected. Procedures for collecting data and performing analysis are presented for both readily accessible fires where data should be complete, and for inaccessible fires where data are likely to be incomplete. The material is prepared for use by field units, with no requirements for special equipment or computers. Procedures for selecting the most representative fuel model, for overall evaluation of prediction capability, and for developing calibration coefficients to improve future predictions are presented. Illustrated examples from several fires are included. The material is a companion publication to the fire prediction manual titled, 'INT-GTR-143: How to predict the spread and intensity of forest and range fire' by R. C. Rothermel.

Download or read book A Mathematical Model for Predicting Fire Spread in Wildland Fuels written by Richard C. Rothermel and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mathematical fire model for predicting rate of spread and intensity that is applicable to a wide range of wildland fuels and environment is presented. Methods of incorporating mixtures of fuel sizes are introduced by weighting input parameters by surface area. The input parameters do not require a prior knowledge of the burning characteristics of the fuel.

Book Synopsis Changes in Fire Weather Distributions by : Lucy Anne Salazar
Download or read book Changes in Fire Weather Distributions written by Lucy Anne Salazar and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data that represent average worst fire weather for a particular area are used to index daily fire danger; however, they do not account for different locations or diurnal weather changes that significantly affect fire behavior potential. To study the effects that selected changes in weather databases have on computed fire behavior parameters, weather data for the northern Rocky Mountains were treated as probability distributions, then used in computer simulation to estimate distributions of rate-of-spread (ROS) and fireline intensity (FLI). Sensitivity of ROS and FLl to weather input changes was analyzed by varying the source and amount of weather data, and diurnally adjusting temperature and relative humidity. In eight representative cases, a minimum amount of data produced the lowest cumulative probabilities of ROS and FLl, and data from a higher elevation produced the highest values. For long-term planning, within the region studied, a small subset of weather data distributions was adequate for estimating probabilistic distributions of ROS and FLI. Joint probabilities of ROS and FLI differed substantially among test cases. Fire behavior values obtained with observed data were higher than those obtained with diurnally adjusted data. The simulation techniques used are appropriate for use in long-term fire management planning models.
Book Synopsis Drought Estimation in Southern Forest Fire Control (Classic Reprint) by : Ralph Melvin Nelson
Download or read book Drought Estimation in Southern Forest Fire Control (Classic Reprint) written by Ralph Melvin Nelson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Drought Estimation in Southern Forest Fire Control During extended droughts, aerial fuels become more flammable, fire lines are hard to build and hard to hold, fires burn with great intensity and high rate of spread, and sometimes high-intensity fires produce convection columns that spew firebrands for long distances. As examples of what can happen during prolonged periods of little rain, in 1955 and 1956 four fires in the South each burned more than acres. Drought conditions coupled with certain atmospheric conditions caused this excessive loss. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Fire Phenomena and the Earth System by : Claire M. Belcher
Download or read book Fire Phenomena and the Earth System written by Claire M. Belcher and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire plays a key role in Earth system processes. Wildfires influence the carbon cycle and the nutrient balance of our planet, and may even play a role in regulating the oxygen content of our atmosphere. The evolutionary history of plants has been intimately tied to fire and this in part explains the distribution of our ecosystems and their ability to withstand the effects of natural fires today. Fire Phenomena and the Earth System brings together the various subdisciplines within fire science to provide a synthesis of our understanding of the role of wildfire in the Earth system. The book shows how knowledge of fire phenomena and the nature of combustion of natural fuels can be used to understand modern wildfires, interpret fire events in the geological record and to understand the role of fire in a variety of Earth system processes. By bringing together chapters written by leading international researchers from a range of geological, environmental, chemical and engineering disciplines, the book will stimulate the exchange of ideas and knowledge across these subject areas. Fire Phenomena and the Earth System provides a truly interdisciplinary guide that can inform us about Earth’s past, present and beyond. Readership: Advanced students and researchers across a wide range of earth, environmental and life sciences, including biogeochemistry, paleoclimatology, atmospheric science, palaeontology and paleoecology, combustion science, ecology and forestry.

Book Synopsis Probability of Fire Occurrence Can Be Predicted (Classic Reprint) by : John S. Crosby
Download or read book Probability of Fire Occurrence Can Be Predicted (Classic Reprint) written by John S. Crosby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Probability of Fire Occurrence Can Be Predicted The percentage relationship between actual and expected fires is independent of year-to-year variations in fire occurrence and so shows how much the factors not included in the meter rating influenced fire occurrence. Since changes in population and area protected have been minor, and activities on the national forest have remained fairly constant, it is reasonable to conclude that the relative decrease in fire occurrence is largely a result of effective fire prevention. The above relationships are based on all causes of fires. Data for a single cause or for a particular prevention program can be analyzed similarly. Weaknesses in the prevention program can be revealed in this way and steps taken to remedy them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Forest Fires written by Eduards Gomez and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A forest fire is any uncontrolled, non-structure fire that occurs in the wilderness. Wildlife behaviour is often complex and variably dependent on factors such as fuel type, moisture content in the fuel, humidity, windspeed, topology, geographic location and ambient temperature. Weather patterns, such as heat waves droughts can also have a dramatic impact on the onset and outcome of wildfires. Fire is sometimes essential for forest regeneration, however, it often destroys forests and has dire social and economic consequences. This book looks at the underlying causes of forest fires, their ecological effects and preventive strategies.
