What is it about?
This study investigates numerically the influence of strong pyro-convective activity on the local atmospheric conditions by means of a numerical simulation based on the coupled Meso-NH/ForeFire code, and a one-way fire to atmosphere coupling. We study numerically the Portuguese Pedrógão Grande mega fire, which was one of the most destructive and deadliest wildfire hazards affecting the Mediterranean region in the recent years.

Why is it important?
The use of coupled fire-atmosphere simulations may provide a valid support to an improved understanding of the complexities associated with fire-atmosphere interaction. We proved that the Meso-NH/ForeFire code can represent adequately the development of a fire-generated thunderstorm.
