Thanks to my friends at the NWS Incident Meteorologists for sharing this very informative video from Dr. Darren Clabo, Fire Meteorologist for South Dakota, on a fire weather parameter known as the mixing height. I obtained this link from the NWS IMET office in an April 9th post on their Facebook page, unfortunately I am not able to post a direct link to that post. I do read fire weather forecasts and have run across this term and only had a very basic knowledge of what the mixing height referred to. Now, thanks to Dr. Clabo, I know some more. Allow just under 20 minutes to watch the video, it is well worth your time.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
