Abstract

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) provides monitoring and forecasting of global wildfire emissions and conditions through the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring and Emergency Management Services (CAMS and CEMS). CAMS monitors global wildfire emissions based on satellite observations of Fire Radiative Power from MODIS in the Global Fire  Assimilation System (GFAS) (atmosphere.copernicus.eu). CEMS forecasts global fire danger with the Global ECMWF Fire Forecasting (GEFF) model (emergency.copernicus.eu).
