Don’t let all the flooding fool you: The same rain and snow that have drenched California this winter and spring risk making the state’s next seasonal calamity — fire season
A new technique developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) uses artificial intelligence to efficiently update the vegetation maps used by wildfire computer models to more accurately predict

There are 3 major data inputs to a fire behavior model: topography, forecasted weather, fuels. LANDFIRE, the main input of fuels data, is only updated every 5 years.
Artificial intelligence developed at NCAR in Boulder is allowing scientists to identify the locations and amounts of dead or dying trees and vegetation in Colorado forests, which burn quickly and, therefore, cause wildfires to spread faster.
