The importance degree of weather elements in driving wildfire occurrence in mainland China

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Understanding the degree to which weather factors influence fire occurrence is crucial for managing wildfires because China's recent rigorous fire prevention measures have made fire occurrence drivers distinct from those in other nations.

Weather affects post‐fire recovery of sagebrush‐steppe communities and model transferability among sites

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Altered climate, including weather extremes, can cause major shifts in vegetative recovery after disturbances. Predictive models that can identify the separate and combined temporal effects of disturbance and weather on plant communities and that are ...

Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation modulates the relationship between El Niño–Southern Oscillation and fire weather in Australia [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a crucial driver of fire weather in Australia, with the correlation between ENSO and Australian fire weather having intensified over the past 2 decades.

Climate change strongly affects future fire weather danger in Indian forests

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Changes in temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and relative humidity due to climate change are likely to alter future fire regimes. We quantified the impact of such changes on the fire weather of Indian forests using a fire weather index and high ...

The 2018 Camp Fire: Meteorological Analysis Using In Situ Observations and Numerical Simulations

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2019
The November 2018 Camp Fire quickly became the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. In this case study, we investigate the contribution of meteorological conditions and, in particular, a downslope windstorm that occurred during ...

Evolution of a pyrocumulonimbus event associated with an extreme wildfire in Tasmania, Australia [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Extreme fires have substantial adverse effects on society and natural ecosystems. Such events can be associated with the intense coupling of fire behaviour with the atmosphere, resulting in extreme fire characteristics such as pyrocumulonimbus cloud ...

Classification of Active Fires and Weather Conditions in the Lower Amur River Basin

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Most wildland fires in boreal forests occur during summer, but major fires in the lower Amur River Basin of the southern Khabarovsk Krai (SKK) mainly occur in spring.

Changes in the Seasonality of Fire Activity and Fire Weather in Portugal: Is the Wildfire Season Really Longer?

open access: yesMeteorology, 2023
The length of the fire season has not garnered much attention within the broad field of meteorological research on fire regime change. Fire weather research on the Iberian Peninsula is no exception in this case; there is no solid understanding on fire ...

Regional scales of fire danger rating in the forest: improved technique [PDF]

open access: yesСибирский лесной журнал, 2017
Wildland fires distribute unevenly in time and over area under the influence of weather and other factors. It is unfeasible to air patrol the whole forest area daily during a fire season as well as to keep all fire suppression forces constantly alert ...
