The climate zone data used in this study is the global digital Köppen-Geiger map75 from the University of East Anglia and the German Weather Service representing the climate classification of the period from 1986 to 2010 at the spatial resolution of 5 arc minutes. The vegetation type used in...
Map of the Nechako River Basin (left) and the Shovel Lake wildfire perimeter (right) with studied tributaries and sampling sites. Note the black box on the NRB watershed map denotes the study area Full size image The mean annual air temperature in the NRB is 3.7 °C, and the mean annual...

Area mapped as nonforest in the Forest Type Group map was assigned fuel loading from a MODIS normalized difference vegetation index-based rangeland biomass product (M. Reeves, manuscript in preparation, 2014). Forest canopy fuel consumption was taken as 50% while consumption of other fuel ...
(b) the map of the vector field of the extratropical atmospheric jets in ms−1. Both atmospheric parameters are shown at 300 hPa during the 15-day running mean interval from 17th April to 1st of May on the eve of the Alberta 2016 wildfire, based on daily NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data13....
(a) Map of Saskatchewan indicating location of boreal forests (dark gray) and the location of mapped predictions (small black polygon with leader line); (b) predicted probability of wildfire, p(wildfire), per 35-year period for the area around the southern parts of Reindeer Lake in northeast...
Wildfire is a sudden and highly destructive natural disaster that poses significant challenges in terms of response and rescue efforts. Influenced by factors such as climate, combustible materials, and ignition sources, wildfires have been increasingly o
Although post-fire mapping products are only of strategic value, the ability to map the burned area of a wildfire adjacent to its active portions is an integral part of FMF-3, which requires measurements in the VIS and NIR bands at a minimum (and ideally would include the short-wave IR,...
Figure 1. Study area map of wildfires in Pakistan. Due to the lack of a continuous dataset covering the whole nation, past wildfire studies were not conducted on a country level. Thanks to the development remarkable remotely sensed datasets, fire-driving variables and the best model for predic...
Chronological methods were used to search for cycles or trends in annual fire and burnt area time series in Ontario (Canada) between 1918 and 2000 [53]. The importance of previous climatic conditions for the variability of wildfires (total burned area and total number of wildfires) in Arizona ...
