*[Back to Home][1]* WP Identity ----------- **Leader**: Research Associate **Co-leader**: Katerina Papagiannaki **Contributors**: Theodore M. Giannaros **WP start**: 01/12/2020 **WP end**: 31/05/2022 Objectives ---------- To define Greece’s critical fire weather patterns, determining their key characteristics and possible relationships with atmospheric teleconnections and SST anomalies. Description of Work ------------------- This WP will carry out the work related to the definition and characterization of critical fire weather patterns of Greece. The work to be conducted includes: - Collecting and appending (quality control included) required data (ERA5, BA, NOA AWS, SST, atmospheric teleconnections indices). - The development of the tools for the synoptic climatological approach (SOM). - The implementation of the classification algorithm. - The definition of critical VPD thresholds. - The statistical analysis for defining critical fire weather patterns, characterizing them and verifying any relationships with atmospheric teleconnections and sea-surface temperature anomalies.
