ENSO modulates wildfire activity in China | ResearchBunny

Index

Abstract

This paper presents the Wildfire Atlas of China (WFAC), a detailed fire occurrence dataset (2005–2018) based on satellite monitoring and field observations. Wildfires in China predominantly occur in winter (January-April) in subtropical regions, showing a decreasing trend since 2007. Southeastern China's wildfires are linked to low precipitation and high diurnal temperature ranges, while southwestern China's are associated with warm conditions. An El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-modulated fire occurrence dipole is observed between southwestern and southeastern China.
