Welcome to the fireDanger wiki

In this repository you will find some R functions for the calculation of several popular indices for fire risk assessment based on meteorological data, and related utilities. Please follow the links below to the help pages for each of them (under construction).

• [Canadian Fire Weather Index System] (https://github.com/jbedia/fireDanger/wiki/fwi)
• [Nesterov Index] (https://github.com/jbedia/fireDanger/wiki/nesterovIndex)
• [Keetch-Byram Drought Index] (https://github.com/jbedia/fireDanger/wiki/kbdi)
• Angstron Index
• Hargreaves - Samani potential evapotranspiration
• Fuel Moisture Index

There are also two example datasets for testing the functions and running the examples:

• Daily time series of Tmax, Tmin and Precipitation (1945-2012)
• [Data of temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and wind velocity from 7 locations in Spain, corresponding to both weather station observations and reanalysis data] (https://github.com/jbedia/fireDanger/wiki/fwiSpain)
