Observations of a rotating pyroconvective plume

Background: There is an ongoing need for improved understanding of wildfire plume dynamics.Aims: To improve process-level understanding of wildfire plume dynamics including strong (>10 m s−1) fire-generated winds and pyrocumulus (pyroCu) development.Methods: Ka-band Doppler…

A national accounting framework for fire and carbon dynamics in Australian savannas

Background: Tropical savannas represent a large proportion of the area burnt each year globally, with growing evidence that management to curtail fire frequency and intensity in some of these regions can contribute to mitigation of climate change. Approximately 25% of Australia’…
