Brief communication: The Lahaina Fire disaster – how models can be used to understand and predict wildfires
<p>Following the destructive Lahaina Fire in Hawaii, our team has modeled the wind and fire spread processes to understand the drivers of this devastating event. The results are in good agreement with observations recorded during the event. Extreme winds with high variability, a fire ignition...
