1 Wildland fires in Southern California: climatic controls and future prediction Yufang Jin Department of Earth System Science University of California, Irvine SCSRA 6 th Annual Workshop May 3, 13
2 Large Fires in Southern California Santa Ana Fires Summer Fires Santiago Canyon Fire, October, 7 Station Fire, August 9, 9
3 Diverse ecosystems and large wildland urban interface
4 Wind patterns from km WRF 1 6 # SA days #SA events Averaged over all days with SAi=8 J F M A M J J A S O N D
5 Fire prone landscape up to 1
6 Interannual variation Summer: JJA Burned Area Fall: SON Events: from NOAA extreme events report
7 Motivation Large and destructive fires over the past decade Fire prone diverse landscape: shrub, sever fire weather, rugged terrain Large wildland urban interface (WUI) Understand seasonal and interannual variation in contemporary fires (fire climate vegetation human interactions) Predict future change and impacts Implications for planning and management

14 Climatic controls: burned area Summer Burned Area (1 3 acre) Santa Ana Burned Area (1 3 acre) e) Year e) r =.5 r =.8 Obs. Predicted Year Normalized influence Normalized influence 3 f) Year 1 f) Year
15 Key points for climatic controls Number of fires: cumulative precipitation and Tmax for summer fires; RH and current precipitation for Santa Ana fires. Fire size: RH, winter plus current precipitation, and Tmax for summer fires; RH for SA fires (e.g. for 3 and 7 extremes); and wind speed was significant for both July and October fire size. Extreme fire years correlated mostly with stronger SA events (lower RH and stronger wind, e.g. 3, 7 Oct, and 197 Sep) Aggregated to seasonal scale, burned areas were mainly controlled by RH and Tmax for summer fires, and by RH for Santa Ana fires. Statistical model based only on climate can capture up to 6% of variation in # fires and burned area (r =.8). Changes in relative humidity (especially in fall) and Tmax (in summer) in the future will affect the Southern California s fires.

24 Conclusions and Future goals Importance of climate control in fires: summer and SA fires Extreme fire weather critical for Santa Ana fires Summer fires are likely going to increase by mid Century Late season SA fires may increase slightly How does changes in fire regime and climate affect vegetation? What are the subsequent impacts of Santa Ana fires (vs. summer fires) on air quality and human health? Which communities are most vulnerable to climate change and fire impacts? How do human activities affect fires?
