Fires of Unusual Size and the Weather

Event Details

Nov 19 2020, 11am - 12pm

2020-2021 Seminar Series

Brian Potter, USDA Research Meteorologist, PNW Research Station

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.
