Researchers have achieved a breakthrough by recreating wildfire-induced thunderstorms, known as pyrocumulonimbus clouds, in Earth system models for the first time. This simulation captures how intense bushfires generate severe weather that can spread fires further. The work enhances understanding of fire-atmosphere interactions amid worsening climate conditions.
