Session 7B Analysis and Forecasting of Fire Weather

Wednesday, 15 January 2020: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
151A (Boston Convention and Exhibition Center)
Host: 30th Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting (WAF)/26th Conference on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)
Cochairs:
Stephen Bieda III, NWSFO, NOAA/NWS Amarillo, TX, Amarillo, TX and Ryan A. Lagerquist, CIMMS, Meteorology, Norman, OK

This session will be hosted by the 30th Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting (30WAF).  It will discuss analysis and forecasting techniques for fire weather, including recent extremes (e.g., extreme fire seasons in western North America and the Canadian sub-Arctic), pyrocumulonimbus, decision support for fire suppression, new fire-weather parameters used in forecasting, etc.
