This work provides a detailed overview of existing investigations into the fire–wind
interaction phenomena. Specifically, it considers: the fanning effect of wind, wind direction …

Among the key issues in smoke management is predicting the magnitude and location of
smoke effects. These vary in severity from hazardous (acute health conditions and drastic …

While the wildland–urban interface (WUI) is not a new concept, fires in WUI communities
have rapidly expanded in frequency and severity over the past few decades. The number of …

Numerical simulations using a fire model, FIRETEC, coupled to an atmospheric dynamics
model, HIGRAD, are examined to investigate several fundamental aspects of fire behavior in …

Wildland fires in boreal regions have the potential to initiate deep convection, so-called pyro-
convection, due to their release of sensible heat. Under favorable atmospheric conditions …

Airborne cloud radar reveals extreme wildfire updrafts (~ 60 ms− 1) and downdrafts (~ 30
ms− 1) rivaling those in supercell thunderstorms. These extreme vertical velocities occur …

Vortices are almost always present in the wildland fire environment and can sometimes
interact with the fire in unpredictable ways, causing extreme fire behavior and safety …

Fire-generated tornadic vortices (FGTVs) linked to deep pyroconvection, including
pyrocumulonimbi (pyroCbs), are a potentially deadly, yet poorly understood, wildfire hazard …

In wildfire science, spotting refers to non-local creation of new fires, due to downwind
ignition of brands launched from a primary fire. Spotting is often mentioned as being one of …

This paper is the second of two reviewing scientific literature from 100 years of research
addressing interactions between the atmosphere and fire behaviour. These papers consider …
