How do wildfires shape the atmosphere, and how does the atmosphere shape them? 🌪️
The upcoming #WildfireDataPortal combines fire and atmospheric data 🎈 with science to help understand these complex interactions. 🔥
Launching soon! 🚀 Stay tuned!

#EWED is giving the final touches to the upcoming #WildfireDataPortal. 🔥💻
Did you know? 🌍 It brings together field data from wildfires, Extreme Wildfire Events #EWEs and prescribed fires in Spain, Greece, the Netherlands and Chile.
Launching soon! 🔥 Stay tuned!

Last week, #EWED celebrated its Training Event & Hackathon #TEHackathon in 📍 Wageningen, organised by @w-u-r.bsky.social and @nipv.nl
Find out what it was about here: civil-protection-knowledge-network.europa.eu/news/ewed-un...

Hurry up, registation ends on Sunday! 🏃‍♀️

🙏 Huge thanks to everyone who made this week possible!
👉 @w-u-r.bsky.social & @nipv.nl for organising
👉 @paucostaf.bsky.social for key support
👉 All facilitators
👉 And all participants for your insight & collaboration
What a week — onward to the final steps for #EWED! 🚀

Final day of the #EWED Training Event & #TEHackathon! 👏🔥
We explored EWED’s philosophy, the in-development #WildfireDataPortal and #CLASS model, and ran a real-time #EWE crisis simulation.
Huge thanks to our colleagues from @w-u-r.bsky.social, @esciencecenter.bsky.social, #bomberscat and @nipv.nl! 🙌

Day 2️⃣ of the #EWED Training Event & #TEHackathon wrapped up!
We looked at conceptual fire plumes, uncertainty in wildfire operations & fire analysis via the polygon method.
Thanks to Martin Janssens (@w-u-r.bsky.social) and Marc Castellnou ( #bomberscat )! 🙌

Day 1️⃣ of the #EWED Training Event & #TEHackathon done!
We’ve explored the #AtmosphericBoundaryLayer — key to understanding extreme fire behaviour.
Thanks to facilitators chiel1982.bsky.social and Jordi Vilà, and to André van Lammeren for the warm welcome - all from @w-u-r.bsky.social 🙌

Starting the countdown for the #EWED 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 (#TEHackathon) taking place in 📍 Wageningen next week! 🤩
Excited to meet all the colleagues joining us from 10 different countries. 🙌
Safe travels, and see you next week! ✈️🌍

We collect atmospheric and fire data with radiosondes 🎈 (1st photo), and with these, we:
👉Generate 3D wildfire simulations (2nd photo)
👉Run #CLASS models (3rd photo) to explore the weather conditions driving wildfires.
Learn about them with our deliverables 4.1 and 4.2, here: bit.ly/47UeQhz

🔈 Last day at #XFIRE2025!
🗣 Ove Stokkeland from the #Grenland Fire and Rescue Service has presented the #EWED Wildfire Data Portal-coming soon!

📌CLASS is an open tool to quickly learn more about the weather conditions under which wildfires develop.

👉 MicroHH and CLASS are open tools developed by the Meteorology and Air Quality Group from Wageningen University & Research #WUR. More ℹ and access, in the deliverables 👆
#fluiddynamics #EWEs

2️⃣ D4.2 Conceptual model
🎯 To develop a user-friendly and easy-access web-based version of #CLASS (Chemistry Land Atmosphere Soil Slab model) that can test the height a fire plume can reach. In collaboration with the Netherlands eScience Center 🙌
🔗 bit.ly/45zCxOm

📌MicroHH is an open tool designed to simulate the lowest and turbulent level of the atmosphere (#AtmosphericBoundaryLayer), and it now also integrates surface conditions to simulate wildfire plumes.

📢 New resources now available!
1️⃣ D4.1 Simulation setup
🎯 To generate 3D wildfire simulations under conditions resembling those observed in the field, by using the #MicroHH code 🖥🔥
