The focus of this project is to interact with all project scientists in order to continuously develop and advance our capabilities in global wildfire modelling and its integration into Earth system models. The tasks will involve a) Algorithm development based on quantitative and qualitative insight from individual projects in different strands; b) Model evaluation and benchmarking; c) Integration into the UK Earth System Model (UKESM) and subsequent evaluation of performance of atmospheric composition, vegetation, and related systems.
Project duration: 2020 – ongoing
