A look at how scientists, firefighters, and first responders are using advanced computer models to better map, track, and predict the movements of wildfires
while it's still burning. https://www.cnet.com/... https://twitter.com/... Roger Cheng / @rogerwcheng : Very relevant right now. @lhautala looks at computer models and tech that are trying to better track how wildfires move around. Considering Australia in January and Northern California last month, we badly need these capabilities. https://www.cnet.com/... Connie Guglielmo / @techledes : Tech is getting better at predicting fire movement. First responders can then adjust their projections in minutes, rather than hours - giving firefighters more time to respond to a blaze & stop it from spreading. @lhautala reports for @CNET RoadTrip 2020. https://www.cnet.com/...
Programmers have been using software to analyze wildland fires, and eventually make projections of where they might spread next, since computers existed. But now, researchers are creating more accurate systems to predict fire movement. https://www.cnet.com/...
Mapping a wildfire's 🔥🌳🌲next move is getting easier, thanks to computers Fire-predicting software can project how a fire could spread — while it's still burning. https://www.cnet.com/... https://twitter.com/...
