用流匹配模型预测野火3小时内的扩散时间,支持不确定性量化。

Probabilistic Forecasting of Localized Wildfire Spread Based on Conditional Flow Matching

  • 基于条件流匹配学习火势在环境输入下的到达时间分布。
  • 3小时单步与24小时递归预测均准确捕捉火势演化变异。
  • 适合需要快速、带不确定性的局部野火预报的业务系统。

本研究提出一种基于条件流匹配算法的局部野火扩散概率代理模型。该方法将火势推进建模为随机过程,通过学习在给定当前火情及气象、地形输入下火势到达时间的条件分布。输入包括燃烧区域、近地风速分量、温度、相对湿度、地形高程和燃料类别,均在高分辨率空间网格上定义。输出为三小时内火势到达时间的样本,条件于输入变量。训练数据由耦合大气-野火模拟器WRF-SFIRE生成,并配以北美中尺度模型的气象场。该框架可高效生成到达时间集合,显式表达因火-气系统知识不全及未解析变量带来的不确定性。模型支持子区域局部预测,相比物理模拟器显著降低计算成本,同时保持对关键驱动因子的敏感性。在单步(3小时)和递归多步(24小时)预测上对比WRF-SFIRE模拟评估性能,结果表明方法能准确捕捉火势演化变异性并生成可靠集成预测。该框架为概率化野火预报提供可扩展路径,有助于机器学习模型与业务火情预测系统及数据同化集成。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This study presents a probabilistic surrogate model for localized wildfire spread based on a conditional flow matching algorithm. The approach models fire progression as a stochastic process by learning the conditional distribution of fire arrival times given the current fire state along with environmental and atmospheric inputs. Model inputs include current burned area, near-surface wind components, temperature, relative humidity, terrain height, and fuel category information, all defined on a high-resolution spatial grid. The outputs are samples of arrival time within a three-hour time window, conditioned on the input variables. Training data are generated from coupled atmosphere-wildfire spread simulations using WRF-SFIRE, paired with weather fields from the North American Mesoscale model. The proposed framework enables efficient generation of ensembles of arrival times and explicitly represents uncertainty arising from incomplete knowledge of the fire-atmosphere system and unresolved variables. The model supports localized prediction over subdomains, reducing computational cost relative to physics-based simulators while retaining sensitivity to key drivers of fire spread. Model performance is evaluated against WRF-SFIRE simulations for both single-step (3-hour) and recursive multi-step (24-hour) forecasts. Results demonstrate that the method captures variability in fire evolution and produces accurate ensemble predictions. The framework provides a scalable approach for probabilistic wildfire forecasting and offers a pathway for integrating machine learning models with operational fire prediction systems and data assimilation.
