Description

As the agency reported it.

Atmospheric processes in the atmospheric boundary layer significantly influence the behavior of wildfires. Temporal and spatial variability of fine-scale winds at the wildfire front plays a key role in forecasting wildfire spread and spotting events. Available wind information from satellites and numerical weather prediction models does not meet the need for the temporal and spatial resolution for precise modeling of wildfires, especially the fire spread through ember dispersal within wildland-urban interfaces (WUI). The windtl system is a cutting-edge operational wildfire ember model initialized by hyper-local winds resolved from unmanned aerial systems (UAS) measurements in the wildfire canopy. The hyper-local winds can reveal the nearfield dynamics of the buoyant plumes of hot air, offer
