RandomFront 2.3: A Physical Parameterisation of Fire Spotting for Operational Fire Spread Models – Implementation in WRF-SFIRE and Response Analysis With LSFire+ [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2019 Fire spotting is often responsible for dangerous flare-ups in wildfires and causes secondary ignitions isolated from the primary fire zone, which lead to perilous situations.

Wildfire smoke-plume rise: a simple energy balance parameterization [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 The buoyant rise and the resultant vertical distribution of wildfire smoke in the atmosphere have a strong influence on downwind pollutant concentrations at the surface. The amount of smoke injected vs.
