Measuring wildfire plumes to predict extreme fire behavior
Phys.org ·
Predicting the unpredictable starts with understanding how extreme wildfires develop and under what conditions. This knowledge is essential to better anticipate and respond to them. To achieve this, firefighter and researcher Marc Castellnou and the GRAF/Bombers Catalonia team measure the atmosphere both inside and outside wildfire plumes.
