Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) - or NOAA Research - provides the research foundation for understanding the complex systems that support our planet.
in June during a series of hands-on simulations with National Weather Service fire weather forecasters, state wildfire managers, researchers, and social scientists.
The second, the application of the Integrated Warning Team paradigm to wildfire, speeds the exchange of information between meteorologists and land managers and fire agencies to issue fire warnings through NWS channels for rapidly spreading wildfires threatening life and property. Both the Fire Weather Testbed, located at NOAA’s Global Systems Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, and the Next Generation Fire System, developed by NOAA Satellites, are funded by theEyes in the sky, teams on the groundare in geostationary orbit 22,000 miles above the Earth, but NGFS can detect a fire as small as one acre, said Michael Pavolonis, the NOAA Satellites Wildland Fire Program manager.
The first Integrated Warning Team fire warnings were issued during March 2022 in Oklahoma. During a fire near Wichita Falls a little more than a year later, an Integrated Warning Team alerted incident commanders to move firefighting crews to safety just before a dangerous wind shift. Similar warnings were issued during nine separate wildfires in Oklahoma and Texas during 2022 and 2023, and during the February 2024 southern Great Plains firestorm.
