Description

The Webinar on March 5, 2014 was organized by the Alaska Fire Modeling Applications Committee and hosted by Alaska Fire Science Consortium. Three fire analysts discuss the good, the bad and the ugly from their experiences modeling several Alaska fires in the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) in 2013. Important things they learned include fuel model substitutions (SH5 for TU4) in the LCP to improve performance, pros and cons of the 2 crown fire models, and common settings for canopy base height (CBH), Crown Bulk Density (CBD) and Canopy cover when working in Alaska black spruce forest type. How well does FSPro predict short-term and long-term (14-day) fire behavior in Alaska black spruce? Watch the video and find out.
