CRC Project A2.1.1 Very short range fire weather

Program Manager Dr Graham Mills

Researcher Dr. XinMei Huang

Very short range prediction: Fire weather forecasting in support of firefighting operations needs the accurate prediction of wind changes and wind behaviour. There is a requirement to link the latest numerical weather prediction model guidance to recent observations. This should produce “nowcasts”, utilising the strengths of the latest observations and mesoscale numerical forecasts.
