Wildfire Pyroconvection and CAPE: Buoyancy’s Drying and Atmospheric Intensification—Fort McMurray

The accurate prediction of wildfire behavior and spread is possible only when fire and atmosphere simulations are coupled. In this work, we present a mechanism that causes a small fire to intensify by altering the atmosphere. These alterations are caused by fire-related fluxes at the surface. The fi...
