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…

Current and future patterns of global wildfire based on deep neural networks

Global climate change and extreme weather has a profound impact on wildfire, and it is of great importance to explore wildfire patterns in the context of global climate change for wildfire prevention and management. In this paper, a wildfire spatial prediction model based on…

Incorporating an interactive fire plume-rise model in the DOE's Energy Exascale Earth System Model Version 1 (E3SMv1) and examining aerosol radiative effect

The vertical distribution of biomass burning aerosol (BBA) is important in regulating their impacts on weather and climate. The plume-rise process affects the injection height of BBA and interacts with the air parcel lifting and cloud processes. However, these processes are not…

Remote sensing of volatile organic compounds release during prescribed fires in pine forests using open-path Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy

Background: Extreme wildfires have increased in recent decades, yet the consequences of extreme fire behaviour are not fully comprehended. The study of prescribed burning provides opportunities to advance understanding of some overlooked processes in fire behaviour, such as the…

Strategic fire zones are essential to wildfire risk reduction in the western United States

Background: Over the last four decades, wildfires in forests of the continental western United States have significantly increased in both size and severity after more than a century of fire suppression and exclusion. Many of these forests historically experienced frequent fire…
