The spectrum of mathematical modeling and systems simulation
TLDR
The mathematical models as they arise in various application disciplines are arranged along a spectrum according to the relative amount of deduction and induction involved in their construction, providing an insight into the ultimate validity of simulations and to what use they can properly be put.About:

A review of wildland fire spread modelling, 1990-present, 1: Physical and quasi-physical models
TL;DR: A review of surface fire spread models developed since 1990 can be found in this paper, where the authors review models of a physical or quasi-physical nature, and mathematical analogues and simulation models.

A review of wildland fire spread modelling, 1990-present 2: Empirical and quasi-empirical models
TL;DR: In this article, the main relations of empirical models are that of wind speed and fuel moisture content with rate of forward spread, compared with the different functional relationships selected by various authors for these variables.

Wildland surface fire spread modelling, 1990-2007. 1: Physical and quasi-physical models
TL;DR: In recent years, advances in computational power have led to an increase in attempts to model the behaviour of wildland fires and to simulate their spread across the landscape as discussed by the authors, and the present series of articles endeavours to comprehensively survey and precis all types of surface fire spread models developed during the period 1990-2007, providing a useful starting point for those readers interested in recent modelling activities.

Wildland surface fire spread modelling, 1990–2007. 2: Empirical and quasi-empirical models
TL;DR: The main relations of empirical models are those of wind speed and fuel moisture content with rate of forward spread as discussed by the authors, and the focus of the discussion is on the treatment of the wind speed, fuel moisture functions by the models.
Future emissions and concentrations of carbon dioxide: Key ocean / atmosphere / land analyses
TL;DR: In this paper, three types of calculation: (i) forward projections, calculating the atmospheric CO2 concentrations resulting from specified emission scenarios, (ii) inverse calculations determining the emission rates that would be required to achieve stabilisation of CO 2 concentrations via specified pathways and (iii) impulse response function calculations required for determining Global Warming Potentials.
