We first assume a onedimensional fire model for simplicity and present numerical simulations obtained in this case. As possible alternative approaches, we also discuss two other update methods: a particle filter method and an optimal control method. date: 2009 type: Study Group Report type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://miis.maths.ox.ac.uk/miis/281/1/7_USDA_Forestry_Service.pdf identifier: Belkine, Anna and Kim, Eun Heui and Lin, Florence J. and Nanda, Seema and Shi, Pei-Zhe and Stock, Brian and Tudor, Carissa (2009) Procedure for improving wildfire simulations using observations.
