Project Summary

The Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) is an advanced mesoscale forecast and data assimilation system being built to accelerate research advances into operational weather forecasting. It will replace MM5 (the NCAR/Penn State University mesoscale model), the current atmospheric science community model support by NCAR. We are currently adding a coupled atmosphere-fire behavior module based upon the NCAR coupled atmosphere-fire model to WRF to take advantage of this state-of-the-art weather modeling system and provide a supported community fire modeling tool for anyone to use either as a research or operational tool.

For more details, see: Implementation of a wildland fire model component in WRF.
