Tese de mestrado, Ciências Geofísicas (Meteorologia), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências, 2010Rural fires are a major environmental, social and economic problem in Portugal, where the fire is characterized by a large inter-annual variability largely due to climate variability. The main purpose of this study is to assess the potential impact of regional climate change on wildfires in Portugal using a Burnt Area Model (BAM) based on meteorological information. The model is able to predict the decimal logarithm of July (August) burnt areas using, as predictors, the cumulated precipitation in March and April together with a fire index, the DSR (Daily Severity Rating), in May and June, and in July (August). The model is then fed with ...
