Dear Colleagues,

Atmosphere is dedicating this Special Issue to communicating the latest developments in coupled fire–atmosphere modelling. In the last few decades, considerable effort has been put into the design and implementation of models that enable consideration of the two-way interaction between fire and the atmosphere. These models have provided insights into the distinctly dynamic nature of wildfire propagation across a landscape and are continuing to contribute to leading edge wildfire science.

This Special Issue provides an opportunity for those involved in modelling the fire–atmosphere system across a range of scales—from fine-scale combustion dynamics to large pyroconvective events—to present their work in a dedicated volume. We therefore invite you to contribute articles to this Special Issue that highlight advances, new insights, technical issues and emerging research directions associated with existing and emerging coupled fire–atmosphere modelling frameworks. Contributions that describe idealised simulations as well as real-world case studies are welcome.

It is our intention that this Special Issue will help to promote discussion of important modelling issues and highlight synergies and linkages across the various modelling platforms and reasearch groups, which will lead to fruitful collaboration and progress in modelling the fire–atmosphere system at relevant scales.
