Want to learn how to collect fire-behaviour and atmospheric data, build CLASS models, simulate wildfire plumes, or plan for Extreme Wildfire Events? 🔥
The upcoming #WildfireDataPortal will host #EWED guidance resources to help you do exactly that. 🙌
Some on the way—stay tuned!
Launching soon! 🚀

How do wildfires shape the atmosphere, and how does the atmosphere shape them? 🌪️
The upcoming #WildfireDataPortal combines fire and atmospheric data 🎈 with science to help understand these complex interactions. 🔥
Launching soon! 🚀 Stay tuned!

#EWED is giving the final touches to the upcoming #WildfireDataPortal. 🔥💻
Did you know? 🌍 It brings together field data from wildfires, Extreme Wildfire Events #EWEs and prescribed fires in Spain, Greece, the Netherlands and Chile.
Launching soon! 🔥 Stay tuned!

Day 2️⃣ of the #EWED Training Event & #TEHackathon wrapped up!
We looked at conceptual fire plumes, uncertainty in wildfire operations & fire analysis via the polygon method.
Thanks to Martin Janssens (@w-u-r.bsky.social) and Marc Castellnou ( #bomberscat )! 🙌

Day 1️⃣ of the #EWED Training Event & #TEHackathon done!
We’ve explored the #AtmosphericBoundaryLayer — key to understanding extreme fire behaviour.
Thanks to facilitators chiel1982.bsky.social and Jordi Vilà, and to André van Lammeren for the warm welcome - all from @w-u-r.bsky.social 🙌

We collect atmospheric and fire data with radiosondes 🎈 (1st photo), and with these, we:
👉Generate 3D wildfire simulations (2nd photo)
👉Run #CLASS models (3rd photo) to explore the weather conditions driving wildfires.
Learn about them with our deliverables 4.1 and 4.2, here: bit.ly/47UeQhz
