Understanding instrumental factors dealing with the development of large
wildland fires is a need. Fire spread typologies and extreme temperature days
were studied in the 1978-2012 period in Aragón (NE Spain). Temperature was
examined at 850 hPa to characterize the low troposphere state and wildfires
were grouped in three fire spread typologies: convective fires, wind-driven
fires and topography-driven fires. The analysis of wildland fire propagation
typologies revealed that convective fires burned the majority of total area
burned, resulting in the larger and the most closely typology related to high
temperature days (HTDs). Drought Code (DC) correlation with HTDs and wildland
fire size was weak.
