Peatland Fire Weather Conditions in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
2023
Overview
Peatland fires in Central Kalimantan emit thick smoke and large amounts of greenhouse gases and have an impact on the environment globally, but studies on fire weather have not been carried out due to lack of diurnal weather data. The aim of this study is to identify the fire weather conditions during active fires that is needed to mitigate future occurrences of peat fires in Indonesia. The available diurnal weather data was used to analyze the fire weather conditions. Based on meteorological data on active fires (11 days), there was a significant increase in air temperature due to the sea breeze that started blowing in the morning. The average values for the 11-day period around 15:00 are a maximum air temperature of 36 °C, minimum humidity of 37%, wind speed of 21 km h−1, and a rate of increase of 2.7 °C h−1 from 8:00. The difference in sea and land temperatures causes strong winds to blow and triggers an increase in land temperatures. The results of this report can help predict fire activity at high temperatures in the future based on global warming predictions made by other researchers. The rapid rate of increase in air temperature from the morning will be useful in anticipating fires in Central Indonesia.
