Procedure for improving wildfire simulations using observationsAnnaBelkineauthorEun HeuiKimauthorFlorence J.LinauthorSeemaNandaauthorPei-ZheShiauthorBrianStockauthorCarissaTudorauthorThis report suggests a variational update method for improving wildfire simulations using observations as feedback to update information. We first assume a onedimensional fire model for simplicity and present numerical simulations obtained in this case. As possible alternative approaches, we also discuss two other update methods: a particle filter method and an optimal control method.None/Other2009Study Group Report
