What is it about?
The study explores the atmospheric conditions that contributed to the Pantanal wildfires on November 12, 2023. The study utilized satellite observations and atmospheric modeling, showing the importance of weather conditions on a sub-daily scale, which is strongly recommended to be considered when examining fire danger and firefighting action plans in the region. The results also showed a positive trend of FWI in the last decades and a clear seasonality for the maximum values in 2023.

Why is it important?
The study shows the importance of different data sources to understand fire dynamics in the Pantanal wetland. Atmospheric modeling showed to be useful to complement information obtained from geoinformation. Increasing knowledge of atmospheric conditions producing large fires is essential for the development of firefighting plans or preventive fire actions strategies.
