Synopsis
Excerpt from A Model for Predicting Lightning Fire Ignition in Wildland Fuels
This report, the second of several planned on the topic of lightning-caused fires (see Preface), describes the development and structure of a model for predicting the ignition of Wildland fuels by lightning. The model is both physical and stochastic in structure. The physical processes for ignition of fine woody fuels by lightning are the basis for the model. Stochastic processes are used to generalize site conditions for a large area and the chance occurrence of simultaneous events required for ignition.

A Model for Predicting Lightning Fire Ignition in Wildland Fuels
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the development and structure of a model used to predict the number of lightning-caused ignitions in forest fuels. By combining stochastic methods and physical processes, the model considers various factors such as lightning activity, storm movement, fuel moisture, and fuel bulk density. These factors are analyzed to determine the probability of ignition, allowing for the estimation of expected ignitions in a given area. This book signifies the significance of understanding lightning's role in forest fire ignition, providing valuable insights for fire management and prevention strategies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260708014_0
