Inputs #

Each input plays a critical role in determining the moisture content of fuels, which is a key factor in fire behavior modeling. Note that you can load the data used in the configuration phase in this by clicking the icon on the top left (in red circle). This saves time and reduces the risk of loading the wrong input data. Here is an explanation of each input:

Note that the Start Date and End Date define the period over which the Fuel Moisture will be calculated. For example, in this case, the model will compute the fuel moisture from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2014. Fuel moisture can vary significantly over time, so it is important to have a defined period that matches the scope of your analysis. Inconsistencies in time periods between different datasets could lead to errors or inaccurate results in the moisture and probability calculation

Output Date Format can be YYYYMMDD or YYYYDOY. This setting specifies how the output data will be formatted.
