Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the probability of a lightning discharge igniting various types of wildland fuels. The author, an accomplished scientist, combined simulated lightning discharges in a laboratory setting with statistical analysis to produce mathematical models that predict ignition probabilities. These models account for fuel parameters such as depth, moisture content, bulk density, and mineral content, as well as the duration of the lightning's continuing current. The findings provide valuable insights for fire management, enabling professionals to better assess the risk of lightning-caused fires and implement appropriate prevention and suppression strategies.
