Organization:
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Interests and Activities:
I have access to multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer data from various sites in the US (mainly). These data can be used to derive estimates of aerosol optical depth as a function of wavelength. I am in the process of looking at these data for sites impacted by the fires in Central America and plan to report on these results at this website.
Interests and Activities:
I am working with the Malaysian Fire Authorities and we have developed effective protocols for addressing wild fire scenarios utilizing F-500 Mycelle Encapsulator Fire Fighting Agent. The advantages of F-500 include its environmentally safe characteristics, its increased effectiveness over all other agents, the fact that it requires far less water, and that it can readily be used in difficult to access locations. For further information e-mail me at , call me direct (24X7) c/o The Crown Princess Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Phone 603 262-5522 , Room 3317, Fax 603 262-4492., or leave a message for me at my office, 808 528-6060. Further information can be accessed at www.FuelSafeTech.com.
Interests and Activities:
I am interested in the effects of the fires over the eastern border of the Yucatan peninsula around the Cancun area as well as the Mayan ruins in that region. How has this affected tourism and are there any travel advisory to this area?
