Extreme Wildfire Spread Events with Fire-Induced Atmospheric Boundary Layer Data

Marc castellnou Ribau's dataset provides materials to compute fire-induced modifications of the atmospheric boundary layer (fireABL). It includes scripts, hourly fire spread isochrones, ERA5 reanalysis data, and satellite brightness temperature files for plume top identification. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-27.

Use Cases

• Model fire-induced atmospheric boundary layer (fireABL) based on ERA5 reanalysis profiles.
• Identify cloud top height based on satellite brightness temperature data.
• Analyze hourly fire spread isochrones for extreme wildfire events.
• Validate the impact of dry pyroconvection on wildfire behavior.

Strengths

• Includes scripts for managing ERA5 profiles and computing fireABL.
• Contains multiple data components: fire spread isochrones, ERA5 netcdf files, and satellite brightness temperature data.
• Dataset size is 330.1 MB, indicating substantial content.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
