Prescribed Burn Fireclimate Survey 1 57 No29 PDF Download

Excerpt from Prescribed Burn Fireclimate Survey 1-57 Experience and research have taught fire fighters a good deal about wildland fire. Its general relationship to weather, fuels, and topography is well known. Application of this knowl edge to control of fire is frequently hampered by lack of informa tion about the behavior of fireclimate in specific places - how wind, temperature, humidity, and fuel moisture are affected by topog raphy, water bodies, season, and the fire itself. The existing system of weather stations provides enough information for general weather forecasts but not enough to define local fireclimate patterns. The stations are relatively few, widely spaced, and seldom equipped with recording instruments. They gather only momentary sam ples of weather conditions and provide no information on the way the fire itself affects the patterns.
