Forecasting estimates of weather conditions for fire-hazardous season in forests

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

Possible changes of climatic conditions for fire-hazardous seasons for the XXI century have been considered. Forecasting calculations are based on the results of climatic conditions simulation on the ensemble of atmosphere and ocean coupled general circulation models (CGCM) considering different scenarios of social development and anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gas.
