Abstract

In this paper we propose a model of wind flow and its impact on the forest fire spread by using Cellular Automata CA approach The wind model determines the wind flow and speed according to the topography of the studied area and climate data While in a previous work we took into consideration only uniform wind direction and speed in this one we have improved the forest fire model which takes into account both the physical attributes Topography land use nature and density of vegetation and the climatic parameters humidity wind by considering wind flow As an application we consider a region in the North of Morocco
