| Zusammenfassung |
| Coupled atmosphere–fire models can now generate forecasts in real time, owing
to recent advances in computational capabilities. WRF–SFIRE consists of the
Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with the fire-spread model
SFIRE. This paper presents new developments, which were introduced as a
response to the needs of the community interested in operational testing of
WRF–SFIRE. These developments include a fuel-moisture model and a fuel-moisture-data-assimilation system based on the Remote Automated Weather
Stations (RAWS) observations, allowing for fire simulations across landscapes
and time scales of varying fuel-moisture conditions. The paper also describes
the implementation of a coupling with the atmospheric chemistry and aerosol
schemes in WRF–Chem, which allows for a simulation of smoke dispersion and
effects of fires on air quality. There is also a data-assimilation method,
which provides the capability of starting the fire simulations from an observed
fire perimeter, instead of an ignition point. Finally, an example of
operational deployment in Israel, utilizing some of the new visualization and
data-management tools, is presented. |
