Accurately predicting fire spread and behaviour on the fireline, in the field, is highly important in order to prevent the loss of human life, improve the success of initial attack and better understand the potential fire behaviour, minimizing many...
Weather Portal
Definition: The state of the atmosphere at a given time and place, with respect to variables such as temperature, moisture, wind velocity, and barometric pressure.
(National Weather Service/Fire Research And Management Exchange System)
Weather is the state of the atmosphere and is often described in terms of temperature, humidity, stability, pressure, wind speed and direction, clouds and precipitation. The interaction of these weather elements control many aspects of fire behavior.

Publications related to the application of the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) to Alaskan Ecosystems.
The FRAMES Emissions & Smoke Portal is a partner-sponsored site providing access to information about smoke and emissions from wildland fire, including the online Smoke Management and Air Quality for Land Managers online tutorial.
HIGRAD/FIRETEC is a physics-based, 3-D computer code designed to simulate the constantly changing, interactive relationship between fire and its environment. It does so by representing the coupled interaction between fire, fuels, atmosphere, and topography on a landscape scale.
Over the last 10 years WindNinja has seen sustained development and is now widely used by operational wildland fire management both in the U.S. and abroad. In case you're wondering who uses it besides you, here are some quick statistics:
- 20+ peer-reviewed journal articles
- 7+ million model runs in the last year by 3056 unique users in 70 countries
- Used by WFDSS, FlamMap, Prometheus, Wildfire Analyst, IMETs, FBANs, ARAs
- Non-fire: training search and rescue dogs, simulating canyon incision on Mars, wind erosion, paragliding conditions
We want to continue to grow and improve the model, but development and maintenance of the model is costly and we currently have no dedicated support for this purpose. We've reached a point where we need to find additional funding to support these efforts. Here's how you can help us keep WindNinja going:
If WindNinja has been useful for your work and you would like to see our efforts continue, please let us know how you use WindNinja and why it has been useful for you by answering a few short questions here:
