The project FireCastER (FIRE, foreCASTing and Emergency Response platform) was successfully funded for 2017-2020 by the French national research agency (ANR). This project involving CECI (CNRS-CERFACS) with partners such as SPE/Université de Corse, INRIA, CNRM/Météo-France and LA/Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées aims at enhancing scientific and technological innovation to
– evolve fire risk products based on ensemble-based simulations
– develop data assimilation algorithm of aerial and satellite imagery to improve forecast of future wildfire spread behavior.
