The intensity and frequency of wildfires in California (CA) have increased recent years, causing significant damage to human health property. In October 2007, a number small fire events, collectively referred as the Witch Creek Fire or started Southern CA intensified under strong Santa Ana winds. As test current mesoscale modeling capabilities, we use Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model simulate 2007 wildfire event terms meteorological conditions. main objectives present study are...
Abstract Due to the mixed distribution of buildings and vegetation, wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas are characterized by complex fuel distributions geographical environments. The behavior wildfires occurring in WUI often leads severe hazards significant damage man-made structures. Therefore, warrant more attention during wildfire season. ever-changing dynamic nature California’s population housing, update frequency resolution maps that currently used can no longer meet needs challenges...
Abstract Past studies reported a drastic growth in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), location where man‐made structures meet or overlap wildland vegetation. Fighting fire is difficult WUI due to combination of and structural fuels, therefore, areas are characterized by frequent damage loss from wildfires. Recent policy has targeted prevention, evacuation planning, fuel treatment, home hardening areas. Therefore, it important understand occurrence wildfire events relative WUI. In this work,...
Abstract Mesoscale‐to‐microscale coupling is an important tool for conducting turbulence‐resolving multiscale simulations of realistic atmospheric flows, which are crucial applications ranging from wind energy to wildfire spread studies. Different techniques used facilitate the development turbulence in large‐eddy simulation (LES) domain while minimizing computational cost. Here, we explore impact a simple and computationally efficient Stochastic Cell Perturbation method using momentum...
Quantifying livelihood vulnerability to wildland fires in the United States is challenging because of need systematically integrate multidimensional variables into its analysis. We aim measure wildfire threats amongst humans and their physical social environment by developing a framework calculate index (LVI) for top 14 American states most recently exposed wildfires. The LVI computed assessing each state’s contributing factors (exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity) events. These are...
Farmers’ tolerance towards wild animals are affected by a variety of factorsand understanding those factors influencing low among people is essential for designing strategies to alleviate livestock owners–wildlife conflict.Conflict between human and wildlife reported be increasing over the time that leads negative consequencescause animalsin local communities. In this context, aLikert’s scale was developed measure farmers’tolerance conflict livestock. A list 30 positive (60:40) statements...
Past studies reported a drastic growth in the wildland-urban interfaces (WUI), locations where man-made structures meet or overlap wildland vegetation. There is perception that damages due to wildfires are mainly located at WUI. However, there no clear evidence wildfire intensity and frequency highest these regions. In this work, we have actual occurrences of with respect WUI how much on complex topography California (CA), state burned area risk wildfires. We calculated from previous events...

Abstract This study investigates the influence of land surface processes on short-spell monsoonal heavy rainfall events under varying soil wetness conditions in India, using Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with two schemes: Noah SLAB. To represent contrasting conditions, four are chosen, onset (June) active (August) month, during Indian summer monsoon season. The results indicate that sensitivity differs notably between cases. Specifically, onset, SLAB overpredicts to north...
An index to measure the Vulnerability of Livestock Owners livelihood in Vicinity National Park was developed by adopting a systematic procedure. The scale values three dimensions Biophysical, social and institutional vulnerability were calculated value 6.28, 6.58 6.27 respectively. Out 76 indicators under selected dimensions, 66 retained for item analysis. Based on rating 31 judges three-point relevancy continuum, mean overall scores calculated. statements having weightage (RW) > 0.85 Mean...
