Savanna fires contribute approximately 40–50 % stantially between different savanna vegetation assemblages; of total global annual biomass burning carbon emissions. Re- with a majority of this variation being mirrored by variations cent comparisons of emission factors from different savanna in the modified combustion efficiency (MCE) of different regions have highlighted the need for a regional approach to vegetation classes. We conclude that a significant majority emission factor development, and better assessment of the of the variation in the emission factor for trace gases can be drivers of the temporal and spatial variation in emission fac- explained by MCE, irrespective of vegetation class, as illus- tors. -

Sandoval County, New Mexico Community Wildfire Protection Plan
Sandoval County Community Wildre Protection Plan August 2012 Submitted by: SANDOVAL COUNTY, NEW MEXICO COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN Prepared for 314 Melissa Road P.O. Box 40 Bernalillo, New Mexico 87004 Prepared by SWCA® ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS 5647 Jefferson Street NE Albuquerque, New Mexico 87109 Telephone: 505-254-1115; Fax: 505-254-1116 www.swca.com Victoria Amato, M.S. Cody Stropki, Ph.D. SWCA Project No. 17646 August 2012 Sandoval County Community Wildfire Protection Plan This is a 2012 update to the 2008 Sandoval County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (SCCWPP), which addresses hazards and risks of wildland fire throughout Sandoval County and makes recommendations for fuels reduction projects, public outreach and education, structural ignitability reduction, and fire response capabilities. Sandoval County comprises a diverse landscape and landownership, but a population with one common concern, the need to prepare for wildfire to reduce the risk of loss of life and property. Community members in Sandoval County are familiar with large fires as several have occurred in recent years. The most significant was the Los Conchas fire, the second largest fire in New Mexico history and the largest ever fire in Sandoval County. Prior to that the Cerro Grande Fire (2003) started in Sandoval County and, until Los Conchas (2011) and later the Whitewater-Baldy Complex (2012), was the largest fire in state history. This SCCWPP has been developed to assist Sandoval County in ensuring that a catastrophic wildfire will be avoided in the future by assessing areas at risk and recommending measures to decrease that risk. The purpose of the SCCWPP is to assist in protecting human life and reducing property loss due to wildfire throughout Sandoval County. -
Recent Updates to the SMOKE Modeling System
Recent Updates to the SMOKE Modeling System Bok H. Baek, Alison Eyth, and Andy Holland Carolina Environmental Program, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 137 E. Franklin St., Chapel Hill, NC 27599-6116 [email protected] ABSTRACT EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards is developing the one-model framework for toxics and criteria modeling for all air quality models used by U.S. EPA, including CMAQ, CAMx, REMSAD, and AERMOD. In addition, OAQPS is developing an Emission Modeling Framework (EMF) to provide better management, versioning, quality assurance, and tracking of data used for emissions modeling. The Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) modeling system is used to prepare emissions input data for many of the models used by U.S. EPA. SMOKE has been enhanced in FY05 and FY06 to better support the integration with the EMF and the one-model framework, which includes the improved integration of toxics and criteria modeling. Many updates in support of this effort have been completed, and others are currently underway or planned for the remainder of FY06 and for FY07. Updates to SMOKE v2.2 include processing data for variable grid resolutions and integration with the BlueSky fire emissions estimates model. SMOKE v2.3 significantly reduces memory requirements during gridding, can model non-sequential episodes within a single run of Temporal, supports an extended one record per line (ORL) format, and includes a new approach to wildfire inventories. Additional details regarding the usage of the new versions of SMOKE are available at www.cmascenter.org under the model documentation section. -

United States Department of the Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2321 West Royal Palm Road, Suite 103 Phoenix, Arizona 85021-4951 Telephone: (602) 242-0210 FAX: (602) 242-2513 In Reply Refer To: AESO/SE 22410-2006-FE-0381 December 14, 2006 Ms. Elaine J. Zieroth Forest Supervisor Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest Springerville, Arizona 85938-0640 Dear Ms. Zieroth: Thank you for your request for formal emergency consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531- 1544), as amended (Act). Your request for emergency consultation was dated July 11, 2006, and received by us on July 14, 2006. Your completion of the Emergency-Fire Documentation form fulfills the requirements necessary to initiate emergency consultation typically provided in a biological assessment and evaluation (BAE). At issue are impacts on the Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida) (MSO) and its critical habitat associated with suppression and emergency stabilization activities on the Sand Fire in Coconino County, Arizona. Your Emergency-Fire Documentation concluded that the suppression and emergency rehabilitation actions likely adversely affected the Mexican spotted owl and its critical habitat. This biological opinion is based on information provided in the Emergency-Fire Documentation form (signed July 7, 2006), and telephone and email conversations between Ryan Gordon of my staff and Herbert Ray of the Black Mesa Ranger District (Forest). Literature cited in this biological opinion is not a complete bibliography of all literature available on the species of concern, or on other subjects considered in this opinion. -

Abstracts and biographical information appear unmodified, as submitted by the corresponding authors. Day, time, and room number of presentation are also provided. Abatzoglou, John John Abatzoglou, Assistant Professor of Geography, University of Idaho. Research interests span the weather-climate continuum and both basic and applied scientific questions on past, present and future climate dynamics as well as their influence on wildfire, ecology and agriculture and is a key player in the development of integrated climate scenarios for the Pacific Northwest, US. Oral presentation, Wednesday, 2:30 PM, B114 Will climate change increase the occurrence of megafires in the western United States? The largest wildfires in the western United States account for a substantial portion of annual area burned and are associated with numerous direct and indirect geophysical impacts in addition to commandeering suppression resources and national attention. While substantial prior work has been devoted to understand the influence of climate, and weather on annual area burned, there has been limited effort to identify factors that enable and drive the very largest wildfires, or megafires. We hypothesize that antecedent climate and shorter-term biophysically relevant meteorological variables play an essen- tial role in favoring or deterring historical megafire occurrence identified using the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity Atlas from 1984-2010. Antecedent climatic factors such as drought and winter and spring temperature were found to vary markedly across geographic areas, whereas regional commonality of prolonged extremely low fuel moisture and high fire danger prior to and immediately following megafire discovery. -
