🎉 New in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science: “Challenges in assessing Fire Weather changes in a warming climate.” We quantify a ~65% rise in extreme fire‑weather days (1980–2023) and show common daily‑proxy methods can overestimate trends by up to 10%. doi.org/10.1038/s416...

Excited to share our new preprint on challenges in estimating the Fire Weather Index with climate models! Daily approximations can overestimate extreme fire danger by up to 10%. Read the full preprint on arXiv 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2503.01818 Masks available on Zenodo 👉 zenodo.org/records/1496...

Fire danger likely overestimated in future climate projections

The Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) is widely used to assess wildfire danger and relies on meteorological data at local noon. However, climate models often provide only daily aggregated data, which ...

Great study led by Jonas Schmitt: doi.org/10.1111/agec.12851 We analyzed concurrent on-farm yield losses of different crops to explore how crop diversification mitigates drought risks: growing crops with varying temporally water needs and phenological phases is more effective 🌧️🌾
