Modification of the Fosberg fire weather index to include drought
Abstrac t . The Fosberg fire weather index is a simple tool for evaluating the potential influence of weather on a wildland fire based on temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. A modification to this index that includes the impact of precipitation is proposed. The Keetch-Byram drought index is used to formulate a ‘fuel availability’ factor that modifies the response of the fire weather ...
متن کاملUsing satellite fire detection to calibrate components of the fire weather index system in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Vegetation fires have become an increasing problem in tropical environments as a consequence of socioeconomic pressures and subsequent land-use change. In response, fire management systems are being developed. This study set out to determine the relationships between two aspects of the fire problems in western Indonesia and Malaysia, and two components of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index ...
متن کاملSensitivity of fire weather index to different reanalysis products in the Iberian Peninsula
Wildfires are a major concern on the Iberian Peninsula, and the establishment of effective prevention and early warning systems are crucial to reduce impacts and losses. Fire weather indices are daily indicators of fire danger based upon meteorological information. However, their application in many studies is conditioned to the availability of sufficiently large climatological time series over...
متن کاملRobust projections of Fire Weather Index in the Mediterranean using Statistical Downscaling
The effect of climate change on wildfires constitutes a serious concern in fire-prone regions with complex fire behavior such as the Mediterranean. The coarse resolution of future climate projections produced by General Circulation Models (GCMs) prevents their direct use in local climate change studies. Statistical downscaling techniques bridge this gap using empirical models that link the syno...
متن کاملUse of Meris and Aatsr Data in Previsional Fire Danger Index Computation System for Alpine Regions
The FWI-tel instantaneous is a system for computing a forest fire risk index; it elaborates instantaneous weather maps to evaluate fire risk indicator on alpine regions. This system is based on the previsional Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) adjusted for continental Europe latitudes and climatology and adapted to alpine regions orography. FWI is a meteorological index, which uses as input dat...
