Bushfire in Australia


(1) Background

• Bushfires, frequently occur in Australia during the hot and dry season, destroying large areas of land and causing property damage.

• However, heatwaves, droughts, and periodic climate shifts such as El Nino and the Indian Ocean dipole all contribute significantly to the bushfire crisis (Neil, 2019).

• This disaster is usually caused by lightning or deliberate arson.

• Record high temperatures and long droughts have contributed to bushfires, which have become more difficult to contain in 2019-2020.

(2) Motivation

• Are there any weather conditions that affect the bushfire in Australia?
• Or we can take advantage of some weather conditions to control the bushfires?
