Consequently, even these more complex models parameterize the fire in some way, for example, papers by Clark [28] [29] use equations developed by Rothermel for the USDA forest service [7] to calculate local fire spread rates using fire-modified local winds. And, although FIRETEC and WFDS carry prognostic conservation equations for the reacting ...

The area burned in 2023 was more than twice that of any year since 1983. [47] A study published in the journal Nature concluded that the June-September 2023 Canadian wildfires caused carbon emissions that exceeded annual fossil fuel emissions of all nations except India, China and the US.
