From the text:'A moisture model (ADJ-Th) has been developed that estimates within 5% the average unit fuel moisture for large woody fuels in western Washington and Oregon logging slash. It is a version of the National Fire-Danger Rating System's 1000-hour fuel moisture model adjusted to represent west-side fuel types. The model allows fire managers to accurately predict woody fuel moisture from weather varibles for fuel reduction estimates.'
