The connection between Arctic Oscillation (AO) and the forest fires in Manitoba Province (Canada)
A downward trend of the annual number of forest fires and upward trends of the annual burned area and the average burned area per fire were recorded in Manitoba in the period 1970-2014. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) was used in the research of the connection between Arctic oscillation (AO) a...

Summary: | A downward trend of the annual number of forest fires and upward trends of the annual burned area and the average burned area per fire were recorded in Manitoba in the period 1970-2014. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) was used in the research of the connection between Arctic oscillation (AO) and forest fires. The values of R significant at p≤0.01 were recorded for the annual burned area and summer AO (0.425) and July AO (0.402), as well as for the average burned area per fire and summer AO (0.445). |
