Book excerpt: Systems to enable land managers to locate, evaluate, and counter the fire threat of lightning storms are in the early stages of development. In the western U.S. and Alaska, the Bureau of Land Management has established networks of instruments that locate lightning strikes by means of recorded azimuths. Further research could add important capabilities: identifying and counting strikes with fire-starting potential, estimating ignition probabilities under various fuel and weather conditions, and predicting fire behavior immediately after ignition.

This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest fires cause ecological, economic, and social damage to various states of the international community. The causes of forest fires are rather varied, but the main factor is human activity in settlements, industrial facilities, objects of transport infrastructure, and intensively developed territories (in other words, anthropogenic load). In turn, storm activity is also a basic reason for forest fires in remote territories. Therefore, scientists across the world have developed methods, approaches, and systems to predict forest fire danger, including the impact of human and storm activity on forested territories. An important and comprehensive point of research is on the complex deterministic-probabilistic approach, which combines mathematical models of forest fuel ignition by various sources of high temperature and probabilistic criteria of forest fire occurrence. Forest Fire Danger Prediction Using Deterministic-Probabilistic Approach provides a comprehensive approach of forest fire danger prediction using mathematical models of forest fuel with consideration to anthropogenic load, storm activity, and meteorological parameters. Specifically, it uses the deterministic-probabilistic approach to predict forest fire danger and improve forest protection from fires. The chapters will cover various tree types, mathematical models, and solutions for reducing the destructive consequences of forest fires on ecosystems. This book is ideal for professionals and researchers working in the field of forestry, forest fire danger researchers, executives, computer engineers, practitioners, government officials, policymakers, academicians, and students looking for a new system to predict forest fire danger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightning causes more fires in northeastern California than in all the rest of the State combined. Around Mt. Ingalls in Plumas county, the incidence is about one fire per 10 square miles per year. In northeastern California generally, three-fourths of all lightning-caused forest fires occur in July, August, and September, and two-thirds start between 1 and 6 p.m. These, and other details of lightning-fire incidence on public and private lands were established from tabulation of individual fire reports, as part of a research project supported by the Division of Forestry, California Department of Natural Resources.
Download or read book Predicting Forest Fire Occurrence in Ontario microform written by Brian Michael Wotton and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation documents the investigation and identification of factors influencing forest fire occurrence and describes the development and structure of models of forest fire occurrence in the forests of Ontario. An exploratory analysis of lightning strike density and rainfall relationships was carried out to determine if such a relationship could be used to improve inter-station rainfall estimation: only weak relationships between lightning and rainfall could be identified. A new moisture index, the Sheltered Duff Moisture Code (SDMC), was developed to improve lightning fire prediction capability across the country. This new index tracks forest floor moisture content at heavily sheltered areas of a stand (where lightning ignitions generally occur) better than the currently used Duff Moisture Code of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System. The SDMC can be integrated easily with the FWI System, and be adopted immediately by fire management agencies in Ontario and across the country. Logistic regression models of the probability of a lightning strike igniting a fire were developed for Ontario's fire region. The SDMC was shown to be a strong and consistent predictor in each of these models, while the presence of positive lightning strikes in an area, the timing of a lightning storm, and weather and fuel moisture conditions following a storm were also shown to have significant influence on the probability of lightning fire ignition. These daily models of lightning fire occurrence capture both low and extremely high periods of lightning fire activity well. Poisson regression methods were used to develop people-caused fire occurrence prediction models for each of the ecoregions in Ontario's fire region. Fuel moisture indices and an index of the probability of sustained flaming were identified as significant predictors of people-caused fire activity. The application of these newly developed predictive models of lightning- and people-caused fire occurrence are discussed in detail in terms of both the current daily operations of a fire management agency and the development of climate change impacts scenarios.
Download or read book Forest Fires written by Edward A. Johnson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-03-01 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before the myth of Prometheus, fire played a crucial ecological role around the world. Numerous plant communities depend on fire to generate species diversity in both time and space. Without fire such ecosystems would become sterile monocultures. Recent efforts to prohibit fire in fire dependent communities have contributed to more intense and more damaging fires. For these reasons, foresters, ecologists, land managers, geographers, and environmental scientists are interested in the behavior and ecological effects of fires. This book will be the first to focus on the chemistry and physics of fire as it relates to the ways in which fire behaves and the impacts it has on ecosystem function. Leading international contributors have been recruited by the editors to prepare a didactic text/reference that will appeal to both advanced students and practicing professionals.
