A10 Fires, Scars, and Smoke: Observations, Impact, and Policies
Given increasing fire activity/intensity around the world and rich information generated by numerous observational programs, this session will be devoted to a wide range of fire-related studies including remote and in situ observation of all fire attributes (hot spots, burned scars, and smoke particulate and gas emissions) and applications of the observations in understanding fire impact on, and interaction with, weather, climate, environment and ecosystem; modelling fire spread and smoke transportation; as well as policy issues related to wildfire management.
