THE STORMS PROJECT DEMONSTRATOR
You stated that you are interested in FIRE modelling.
There is one fire behaviour model available.
This is called FIREMAP
The scope of FIREMAP is fire risk estimation at regional level, enabling the evaluation of alternative weather and fuel management scenarios. FIREMAP assumes homogeneity of conditions within each cell and it is limited to the prediction of surface fires.
Firemap requires the following data:
Maps (in raster form):
- Fuels (vegetation classified as fuel models)
- Elevation (m)
- Slope (%)
- Aspect (deg)
Weather scenarios:
- Air temperature (ºC)
- Relative humidity (%)
- Wind velocity (Km/h)
- Wind direction (compass)
