Modelling the atmospheric factors determining the evolution of the boundary layer during a wildfire event

Abstract: <p>Over mountainous terrain, the atmospheric structure becomes much more complex than homogeneous terrain in terms of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL). In the context of interaction between fire and atmosphere, abrupt changes in the ABL wind often lead to erratic and turbulent flow in the fire environment and expose firefighters to dangerous conditions. The study aims to characterize the ABL conditions associated with the largest forest fire that occurred in Portugal in 2019. The fire event t… Show more
