analyzing the behaviour of selected risk indexes during the 2007 greek forest fires
greece has experienced particularly severe and frequent forest fires during summer 2007 together with exceptionally dry meteorological conditions culminated in distinct heat waves. the present study analyzes the time pattern of daily values of two fire risk indices (nesterov and angstrom) based on meteorological data made available for a number of gauging stations between 1 june and 31 august o...
متن کاملForest Fires in the
This paper presents a summary of the forest fire reports in the insular Caribbean derived from both management reports and an analysis of publicly available Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrodiometer (MODIS) satellite active fire products from the region. A vast difference between the amount of fires reported by land managers and fire points in the MODIS Fire Information for Resource Managemen...
متن کاملWarning signals for eruptive events in spreading fires.
Spreading fires are noisy (and potentially chaotic) systems in which transitions in dynamics are notoriously difficult to predict. As flames move through spatially heterogeneous environments, sudden shifts in temperature, wind, or topography can generate combustion instabilities, or trigger self-stabilizing feedback loops, that dramatically amplify the intensities and rates with which fires pro...
متن کاملThe Spread of Forest Fires
We create a simple discrete probabilistic model for spread of a forest fire. We examine the conditions for which the fire will either die out or spread indefinitely, identifying and bounding a critical value for the probability of transmission of the fire to an immediately adjacent location. PREREQUISITES: Summation of geometric series, elementary probability, intuitive limits; for the Appendix...
متن کاملForest Fires and Remote Sensing
The use of remote sensing techniques for the study of forest fires is a subject that started already several years ago and whose possibilities have been increasing as new sensors were incorporated into earth observation international programmes and new goals were reached based on the improved techniques that have been introduced. Three main topics can be distinguished, in which remote sensing p...
