The aim is to investigate how northeast weather patterns contribute to fire danger in northern Portugal.
Analyzed meteorological conditions during the 2025 fire season.
Used ECMWF analyses and Meso-NH simulations for large-scale and mesoscale examination.
Estimated fire severity in the Arouca wildfire using computer vision algorithms.
Identified the Azores anticyclone's impact on fire danger in northern Portugal.
Found that orographic wind gusts significantly intensified fire-weather conditions.
Determined the Arouca wildfire affected 88% of its area with moderate to high severity.
