Cody, 

 

>From my point of view this plug wasn't shameless enough.   Each link let to
a simulation of one of the fires, but I wondered how these were derived.
Before the fact?  After the fact?  Let it be the case that the Forest
Service had a simtable in their response  co-ordination center  (perhaps
they do?).   What would have been different.  Less shame, please.

WARNING this is another shameless SimTable plug.

 

Simtable has been mapping some of the fire progressions. 

The tres Lagunas
<http://apps.simtable.com/fireProgression/output2013/NM-N4S-HH9A_%20tres%20l
agunas.html>  fire burned for a while in the pecos watershed but now seems
to be completely under control. 

The Thompson ridge fire
<http://apps.simtable.com/fireProgression/output2013/NM-SNF-HJC4_%20thompson
%20ridge.html>  is burning slowly through the Valle Caldera, but I can't
imagine there is much fuel left  considering the massive fire 2 years ago. 

The Silver Fire
<http://apps.simtable.com/fireProgression/output2013/NM-GNF-HJ20_%20silver.h
tml> , is burning near silver city, in the Gila National Forest.

Last but not least, the Jaroso fire
<http://apps.simtable.com/fireProgression/output2013/NM-SNF-HJ7C_%20jaroso.h
tml>  burned nearly to the top of Pecos baldy and produced a huge
"pyrocumulus"

smoke cloud for one day. It looked like a volcano went off

All of the fires seem to be under control after the much needed rains last
week. 

 

My apologies for the plug

Cody

Hi Merle --

 

The bottom line on the news last night is that we're 300,000 acres behind
last year's tally with a measly 57,000 acres of fires, and the signs are
that the fire season will close early.  There are three fires that have been
visible from Santa Fe -- Tres Lagunas to the east and Thompson Ridge to the
west have been active for more than two weeks.  The Jaroso fire only started
this week to the northeast and prompted the pyrocumulus discussion.  The
Thompson Ridge fire sent us smoke one evening, but aside from that it's been
easy breathing here in Santa Fe.

 

Hope you're enjoying Bhutan,

Hi, Merle,

 

Many, although neither Santa Fe nor Los Alamos seems to be at risk at the
moment.  To keep current go to www.inciweb.org .  I am in Massachusetts at
the moment, so details will have to come from others.  N

Hi, I'm working in Bhutan. Is there a big fire in New Mexico? Merle

Here's a pyrocumulus over the Silver fire estimated at 6-7 miles (31-37
thousand feet), though I don't know how he worked out the angles from
Wisconsin.
