Wildland surface fire spread modelling, 1990–2007. 2: Empirical and quasi-empirical models (2007, result): “The model was found to well represent the laboratory data but observations of elapsed time to equilibrium ROS did not coincide with point source field observations of other authors which were much greater and also dependent on wind speed.”
Review of formal methodologies for wind–slope correction of wildfire rate of spread (2008, methodology): “Wind–slope correction methods applicable to the whole fire perimeter, such as that discussed in Viegas (2004a), are of major importance for understanding landscape-scale fires in complex terrain where the concept of ‘head-fire’ is not always well defined.”
