Some fires are big, but others are reach totally stunningly sizes, really “wow, that’s big.” What drives those fires to become so large, while other fires in seemingly similar conditions do not? I will present results of a project looking at how weather factors and some basic weather indices relate to daily fire growth on a set of Fires of Unusual Size, comparing them to merely Large Fires.
This presentation is part of the 2020-2021 Firelab Seminar Series.
