Fire Whirl Evolution Observed during a Valley Wind-Sea Breeze Reversal
This observational study documented the atmospheric environment of a prescribed fire conducted in a narrow valley when a small fire whirl developed during a mesoscale wind reversal. Based on analysis of in situ meteorological measurements, it is hypothesized that the fire whirl formed due to the pre...
