The degree of accuracy in model predictions of wildland fire behaviour characteristics are
dependent on the model's applicability to a given situation, the validity of the model's …

Evaluation is a crucial component for model credibility and acceptance by researchers and
resource managers. The nature and characteristics of free-burning wildland fires pose …

Generalised statements about the state of fire science are often used to provide a simplified
context for new work. This paper explores the validity of five frequently repeated statements …

This article outlines the flexible semi-empirical philosophy used throughout six decades of
fire research by the Canadian Forest Service, culminating in the development of the Forest …

A methodology for validating fire spread simulation systems using historical fire data is
presented. The key features of this methodology are (a) quantitative comparison between …

We explore the basis of understanding wildland fire behaviour with the intention of
stimulating curiosity and promoting fundamental investigations of fire spread problems that …

As prescribed fire use increases and the options for responding to wildfires continue to
expand beyond suppression, the need for improving fire effects prediction capabilities …

A newer generation of models that interactively couple the atmosphere with fire behavior
have shown an increased potential to understand and predict complex, rapidly changing fire …

The initiation of crown fires in conifer stands was modelled through logistic regression
analysis by considering as independent variables a basic physical descriptor of the fuel …

An ensemble simulation system that accounts for uncertainty in long-range weather
conditions and two-dimensional wildland fire spread is described. Fuel moisture is …
