Abstract
When terrain to be sprayed is sufficiently inclined to the horizontal and nonuniform in structure, it can create its own micrometeorology, depending on the insolation. The USDA Forest Service has studied these flows and their influences on aerial spraying over a number of years, and we summarize below the results of their recent work.
