Incendiile de vegetație ar putea fi anticipate înainte să scape de sub control. Noua metodă a cercetătorilor

A new method developed by Marc Castellnou and the GRAF/Bombers team aims to predict sudden changes in wildfire behavior, providing firefighters with crucial response time. By launching weather balloons into smoke columns, researchers measure temperature, wind, and humidity to enhance predictions of extreme fires. This approach addresses the unpredictability of wildfires, which can create their own weather conditions, leading to rapid changes in fire behavior. Understanding these dynamics is increasingly urgent due to climate change, as extreme fires can remain active even at night, complicating firefighting efforts.
