Project title:
Fire-Atmosphere Coupling in Australian Firestorm Events
Project description:
The project investigates how intense wildfires interact with the atmosphere to generate thunderstorms. Focusing on Australian fire events, the research examines physical processes that transform smoke plumes into convective storms. Using observational data and atmospheric modeling, fire-atmosphere feedback mechanisms are analyzed, including heat release, moisture dynamics, and aerosol effects. The research aims to improve prediction capabilities for extreme fire behavior and enhance understanding of climate-fire interactions in a warming world.
