Medium-range fire weather forecasts
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 1991The forecast skill of theNational Meteorological Center's medium range forecast (MRF) numerical forecasts of fire weather variables is assessed for the period June 1,1988 to May 31,1990. Near-surface virtual temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and a derived fire weather index (FWI) are forecast well by the MRF model.

This project documents the confluence of weather and wildfire in visual first-person. Combining journal entries from the fireline, weather observations, collated map archives, and the vestiges of keenly registered physical experiences, this project explores the complicated physical and psychological testimony of fighting fire on the landscape ...

Background for fire‐weather warmings
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1934Forest‐fires are among the factors which cause great economic losses to this country. Every year they take a heavy toll and in some years losses therefrom run into hundreds of millions of dollars, in addition to many lives. Practically all of the states having any considerable amount of timbered land, which is in the form of wood lots or forests, have ...

Fire Weather and Land Degradation
2007Recent years have witnessed a global increase in more intense, widespread and frequent fires that threaten human security and ecosystems and contribute to green house gas emissions which result in climate change with feed-backs on both fire patterns and land degradation.

Fire-Weather Index and Climate Change
2020The Fire Weather Index (FWI), an indicator of fire potential, is calculated from weather measurements and thus expected to be responsive to climate change. The data were drawn from records of FWI within the years 1970 to 2018 and from 861 stations in British Columbia, Canada.

Fire weather research in Croatia
2018The mid-Adriatic region in Croatia is the most vulnerable to wildfires due to the joint effects of weather conditions, easily flammable Mediterranean vegetation and an increase in population during the summer season. Wildfires inflict serious damage to agricultural sites and forests and endanger properties and human lives.

Fire Weather and Smoke Management
2000Wildland fires consume large areas of forest and grasslands every year. Fires are described in terms of fire behavior, which includes rate of spread and fire intensity. A fire that spreads rapidly burns less of the available fuel per square unit of area than a fire that moves slowly and allows the flaming front a longer residence time.

International Journal of Wildland Fire
Background: Vegetation fire risk is increasing in temperate regions like the UK, yet understanding of surface and synoptic weather controls on fire is limited. Aims: We examined seasonal relationships between (i) synoptic weather patterns and surface fire weather, (ii) surface weather and vegetation fire, and (iii) synoptic weather patterns and ...
