Why study wildland fires in a meteorology division at NCAR?Wildland Fire Research is focussed on understanding wildland fire in the context of atmospheric processes and the impact of these interactive processes on our society, both in the near term and for the long haul. Not only is the direct interaction of the atmosphere with the fire in real time important, but it is also very important to understand the delicate and complicated dance that occurs between the atmosphere and potential fuels for future fires, the emissions that come from wildland fire, the actual combustion process in some detail, and the long-term effects of wildland fire on climatic factors such as carbon sequestration. Specific details of experiments and results can be found in the "Topics" section. MMM Researchers collaborate both within NCAR and with outside
research through participation in the |
