Abstract: In this work (using Hauf and Holler?s entropy temperature) a potential vorticity is defined that generalizes the moist potential vorticity. This ?generalized? potential vorticity is used to analyze the possible effect of ...

Abstract: In an earlier work, the authors introduced an objective forecast model for a 24-h prediction of the number of daily forest fires based on a 2-day lag autoregressive model. The meteorological inputs required for this model ...

Abstract: Daily fire risk (DFR) is a forecasting index defined on the basis of two meteorological parameters. Such parameters are associated with the local atmospheric column: dry stability e in 850?700-hPa layer and saturation ...
