Local climate changes caused by large bushfire burnt areas

该项目旨在量化极端丛林大火后大面积烧毁地区对当地气候的影响。该项目预计将产生关于这些以前未被探索的火灾伤疤引起的当地气候变化的新知识。它将推广一种创新的方法，将基于卫星的地球观测与非常高分辨率的区域气候模型相结合，以量化对陆地-大气反馈和当地气候的影响。该项目的预期成果包括改进方法，量化极端火灾后当地气候变化及其对植被恢复的影响。这将为极端火灾后植被恢复的规划和管理提供重大好处。

This project aims to quantify the impact on local climate produced by large burnt areas after extreme bushfires. This project expects to generate new knowledge on these previously unexplored fire-scar induced changes to local climate. It will extend an innovative approach that combines satellite based earth observation with very high resolution regional climate modelling to quantify the impacts on land-atmosphere feedbacks and local climate. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced methods to quantify local climate changes after extreme fires and their effect on vegetation recovery. This should provide significant benefits to the planning for, and management of, vegetation recovery after extreme fires.
