Length of the fire season in a changing climate
Open accessAbstract
The Canadian Climate Centre's General Circulation Model provides two 10-year data sets of simulated daily weather for a large array of gridpoints across North America. A subset of this data, comprised of only those points within the forested part of Canada, was selected for study. Fire season length was calculated from data sets of both the 1 × CO 2 and 2 × CO 2 runs of the model as well as for the actual climate, using observed data from weather stations. A comparison made between the results of the 1 × CO 2 and 2 × CO 2 runs indicated a significantly longer fire season across the country under a doubling of atmospheric CO 2 levels. Implications of this result, such as a fall fire season in Canada's east and greater strains on management agencies, are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
