Scientists Develop New Technique to Predict Wildfires
Last year about 9 million acres of land was burned down in the US. Scientist use satellites to predict a wildfire, the satellite updates the image every 12 hours. They made a tool that is called the Coupled Atmosphere-Wildland Fire Environment ( CAWFE ). This tool shows hoe weather drives fire an how fire creates it's own weather. With this tool they also successfully simulates how a fire grows. However the data can change very quickly and that where the satellites come in by updating the images. this new tool covers the entire world.
I think that it is great that there is a tool that can simulate how big a fire would be because now firefighters can be prepared to what they are going against with
