Book Synopsis How to Generate and Interpret Fire Characteristics Charts for Surface and Crown Fire Behavior by : Patricia L. Andrews
Download or read book How to Generate and Interpret Fire Characteristics Charts for Surface and Crown Fire Behavior written by Patricia L. Andrews. This book was released on 2012-10-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fire characteristics chart is a graph that presents primary related fire behavior characteristics-rate of spread, flame length, fireline intensity, and heat per unit area. It helps communicate and interpret modeled or observed fire behavior. The Fire Characteristics Chart computer program plots either observed fire behavior or values that have been calculated by another computer program such as the BehavePlus fire modeling system. Program operation is described in this report, and its flexibility in format, color, and labeling is demonstrated for use in a variety of reports. A chart produced by the program is suitable for inclusion in briefings, reports, and presentations. Example applications are given for fire model understanding, observed crown fire behavior, ignition pattern effect on fire behavior, prescribed fire planning, briefings, and case studies. The mathematical foundation for the charts is also described. Separate charts are available for surface fire and crown fire because of differences in the flame length model used for each.

Book Synopsis How to Generate and Interpret Fire Characteristics Charts for the U. S. Fire Danger Rating System by : Faith Ann Heinsch
Download or read book How to Generate and Interpret Fire Characteristics Charts for the U. S. Fire Danger Rating System written by Faith Ann Heinsch. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fire characteristics chart is a graphical method of presenting U.S. National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) indexes and components as well as primary surface or crown fire behavior characteristics. Computer software has been developed to produce fire characteristics charts for both fire danger and fire behavior in a format suitable for inclusion in reports and presentations. Scales, colors, labels, and legends can be modified as needed. The fire characteristics chart for fire behavior has been described previously (Andrews et al. 2011). This report describes the fire characteristics chart for fire danger, which displays the relationships among the Spread Component, Energy Release Component, and Burning Index by plotting the three values as a single point. Indices calculated by using FireFamilyPlus can be imported into the fire danger characteristics chart software. Example applications of this software for comparing fire seasons, weather stations, and fire danger rating fuel models are presented.
