Wildland fire entrainment: The missing link between wildland fire and its environment. [PDF]
PNAS NexusAbstract Wildfires are growing in destructive power, and accurately predicting the spread and intensity of wildland fire is essential for managing ecological and societal impacts. No current operational models used for fire behavior prediction resolve critical fire-atmospheric coupling or nonlocal influences of the fire environment ...
