70 Years of observational weather data show increasing fire danger for boreal Europe and reveal bias of ERA5 reanalysed data [PDF]
Scientific ReportsRetrospective analyses of fire danger typically use reanalysed data, but its relation to observed fire danger is not well researched. Here we use daily weather observations to calculate fire danger for nine weather stations in Sweden, spanning 1100 km N ...

The effect of climate change on indicators of fire danger in the UK
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 The UK is vulnerable to wildfire, and vulnerability is likely to increase due to climate change. Whilst the risk is small compared with many other countries, recent fires have raised awareness and highlighted the potential for environmental damage and ...

Study on forest fire danger prediction in plateau mountainous forest area
Natural Hazards Research, 2022 Due to the complex vegetation and topography conditioning the plateau mountainous area, forest fire is difficult to put out in this area once it occurred.

Forest fire danger rating in complex topography – results from a case study in the Bavarian Alps in autumn 2011 [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Forest fire danger rating based on sparse meteorological stations is known to be potentially misleading when assigned to larger areas of complex topography.
