Modelação da camada limite atmosférica durante um evento de incêndio florestal

Abstract

The study aims to characterise the ABL conditions associated with the largest wildfire event that occurred in Portugal in 2019. The Meso-NH atmospheric model is used to represent the local and mesoscale environment during this event. From the Richardson number method, ABL height depicted a growing in the morning that reached a peak height by midafternoon. The ABL height ranged from 500 to 900 m throughout the afternoon and evening during the entire study period.
