This document delves into the intricate relationships between fire and climate, examining high-resolution characterizations of fire energy and the global landscape of historic, present, and potential future fire regimes. It explores seasonal variations in fire properties, the impact of land use and climate on fire dynamics, and emphasizes post-fire effects including succession and erosion. Effective strategies for coordination among fire communities, data sharing, and leveraging inter-agency efforts are proposed. It also outlines opportunities for field campaigns, remote sensing enhancements, and the importance of operational data in addressing fire science and climate challenges. ###

Big Science Questions • Fire-climate interactions, forcings • High-resolution characterization of fire energy • Global characterization of historic, current, and potential future fire regimes • Seasonal changes in fire properties • fuel moisture, time-varying emissions factors, • Climate, land use, fire and lagged effects • Insects, snowpack, rainfall anomalies, suppression • Emphasis on post-fire effects • Succession, invasives, erosion, future disturbance
Actions to address current opportunities: • End-to-end field campaign • Wildland fire use (WFU) • Capture pre-fire, active, post-fire environments for cal/val, improved remote sensing for fire science • Testbed for Hyspiri, Desdyni • Working workshops among fire communities (land, atmosphere, modeling) • ROSES-based meeting suggestions • Emphasis on coordination (midterm and post-project synthesis, data sharing)
Coordination • Connecting top-down, Bottom up approaches • Dedicated data center • FRAMES • Planned instruments have fire applications, future mission discussion needed • Regional and global scale studies (within NASA) • Fire science program • Inter-agency efforts to leverage existing and near-term efforts • Operational data availability
