Download or read book Weather Guide for the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System written by B. D. Lawson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This weather guide includes detailed specifications for locating and instrumenting fire weather stations, taking weather observations, and overwintering the Drought Code component of the FWI System. The sensitivity of the FWI System components to weather elements is represented quantitatively. The importance of weather that is not directly observable is discussed in the context of fuel moisture and fire behavior. Current developments in the observation and measurement of fire weather and the forecasting of fire danger are discussed, along with the implications for the reporting of fire weather of increasingly automated fire management information systems.

Download or read book Ground truthing the Drought Code written by Bruce D. Lawson and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Users of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System are required to precede computation of the drought code component each spring by first calculating a mathematical model of overwinter recharge of moisture in the forest floor. Limitations of the model, required for operational simplicity, have led to requests for a field sampling procedure that can be used to verify the model when and where desired. This report describes a standard procedure for destructively sampling the forest floor by depth class, oven-drying the material, and comparing the actual moisture contents against empirically derived regression equations of forest floor moisture versus drought code for representative mature coastal and interior British Columbia forests, and for white spruce forests in southern Yukon. The field verification procedures and calibration equations presented will be applicable to drought code start-up at any time during the fire season.

Download or read book Diurnal Variation in the Fine Fuel Moisture Code written by B. D. Lawson and published by Canadian Forest Service. This book was released on 1996 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest fire managers must be able to predict the normal variation in fine fuel moisture around the clock, since it is a critical factor that affects the behaviour and control of wildfires and prescribed burns. The Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System contains a Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC) that produces a standard daily index of expected fine fuel moisture at the mid-afternoon peak of fire danger, but does not output normal diurnal variation in FFMC. This paper documents the development and updating of an earlier model of diurnal variation in FFMC, presents the underlying equations and a lookup table, and announces the availability of a computer program version of the model for various user applications.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2000-01, aspen decline was observed over large areas of north-east Ontario. This study analyzes the bioclimatic characteristics of the areas affected and suggests potential causes of the decline. The bioclimatic characteristics analyzed include forest tent caterpillar defoliation; drought history; forest composition, age, & structure; and soil quality.
