Contrasting controls on wildland fires in Southern California during periods with and without Santa Ana winds
Wildland fires in Southern California can be divided into two categories: fall fires, which are typically driven by strong offshore Santa Ana winds, and summer fires, which occur with comparatively weak onshore winds and hot and dry weather. Both types of fire contribute significantly to annual burned area and economic loss. An improved understanding of the relationship between Southern Califor...
متن کاملAerosol Particle Processing and Removal by Fogs: Observations in Chemically Heterogeneous Central California Radiation Fogs
Fog composition and deposition fluxes of fog water and fog solutes were measured in six radiation fog events in San Joaquin Valley, California during winter 1998/1999. Measurements made at 2 hr intervals with 0.30 m2 and 0.06 m2 Teflon deposition plates yielded excellent reproducibility (relative standard deviations of 3.8–6.0%) for water, nitrate, sulfate and ammonium. Water fluxes measured at...
متن کاملAir Pollution Processing by Radiation Fogs
Several fog episodes occurred in California’s San Joaquin Valley during winter 2000/2001. Measurements revealed the fogs to generally be less than 50 m deep, but to contain high liquid water contents (frequently exceeding 200 mg/m) and large droplets. The composition of the fog water was dominated by ammonium (median concentration= 608 μN), nitrate (304 μN), and organic carbon (6.9 ppmC), with ...
متن کاملOrganic matter in central California radiation fogs.
Organic matter was studied in radiation fogs in the San Joaquin Valley of California during the California Regional Particulate Air Quality Study (CRPAQS). Total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations ranged from 2 to 40 ppm of C. While most organic carbon was found in solution as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), 23% on average was not dissolved inside the fog drops. We observe a clear variation of...
متن کاملThe Fires
Qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses presented in this article suggest that the massive fires caused by the crash of the planes into the World Trade Center Towers and the spillage of large amounts of jet fuel inside the buildings played a major role in their quick collapse on September 11, 2001. It is argued that the WTC fires, while unprecedented in form, magnitude and extent, resembled ...
