Technical Note: Sensitivity of 1-D smoke plume rise models to the inclusion of environmental wind drag
Vegetation fires emit hot gases and particles which are rapidly transported upward by the positive buoyancy generated by the combustion process. In general, the final vertical height that the smoke plumes reach is controlled by the thermodynamic stability of the atmospheric environment and the surfa...
