Fires simultaneously burning in hundreds of square kilometers could result from a nuclear weapon explosion. The strong buoyancy field such large area fires induces high-velocity fire winds that turn upward the region. This results vertical transport quantity water vapor. We numerically model rise moisture-laden, free-convection columns and examine size increase clouds as function relative humidity, size, or heat release rate.

Abstract The photochemistry of an appropriately substituted bisimide has been studied in solution by conventional means and time resolved laser techniques as a model for the behavior inherently photosensitive solvent soluble polyimides, whose are not well understood. A mechanism photochemical insolubilization polymer systems is suggested based on results system, which confirmed studies polyimide solutions.
