a secure party, i test -- >> clark's court appearance came after two previous attempts were postponed, one because he refused to leave his jail cell, and the other after his bizarre behavior in court. climate scientists in san jose are working hard to provide more tools to help firefighters deal with the erratic nature of wildfires. a team from san jose state is gathering weather data from burn zones to make future fire forecasts accurate. abc 7 news reporter david louie looks at what they're doing. >> while the carr fire continues to burn, fire weather scientist dr. craig clements moved in with ru in search of data. the instruments on board are a mobile atmospheric profiling system. they gather weather data to help forecast wildfires under type mick conditions. >> our goal is to better measure and observe the wildland fire environment, take those data to basically tune the models. >> he is talking about computer

simulation models that will help to predict how fast fires will move and how intense they will be. the carr fire created a tornado rarely captured on video that is an important case study. it was created by unusual conditions, triple-digit temperatures and single digit humidity. the tornado generated hurricane-force winds up to 165 miles an hour. and temperatures topping 2700 degrees fahrenheit. he is amazed the extent of the damage the tornado created, wrapping utility poles around trees while sheering off trunks. >> it's moving in multiple directions because of the circulation. that's why fire whirls and fire tornadoes and rotating columns are dangerous. >> it may take five years clements believes before they have enough data to pduce reliable fire forecast. >> we're on the verge of developing these tools, but we need more observations at fires, wildfires

>> dr. clemens says fire behavior is influenced by three factor, climate, topography and fuel load. they have fuel moisture sticks to monitor how fast trees and other combustible matter will burn. conditions are at severe levels in much of the state, including parts of the santa cruz mountains. clements is hoping in the future fire rings will carry weather instruments to provide additional research data. with the amount of research still to be done, he has received a grant from the national science foundation to build a second vehicle like this, but that will be equipped with radar to do more of his groundbreaking research. at san jose state, david louie, abc news. >> and tomorrow is a spare the air day in the bay area because of smoke from wildfires as well as pollution from cars. here is a live look at thenow in the middle and san francisco on the right. the bay area air quality management district warns that air quality will be worse during day tomorrow. it's healthier to be outside during the early morning.
