Expert Awareness for Fire Behaviour Analysts
Situation Unit analysts should refer to current weather products to assess foehn potential. This involves (a) looking to see what happens to air that is lifted up to the barrier height and then descended again, or (b) air that flows across the top of a barrier and then descends to the fire ground’s elevation. The effect of radiation inversions needs to be considered.
