Big Bend National Park FARSITE Data, 2007
Stephen P. 2007. Big Bend National Park FARSITE Data, 2007. National Park Service
This FARSITE (Fire Area Simulator) landscape file was developed for spatially and temporally simulating the spread and behavior of fires for Big Bend National Park. The landscape file contains eight data layers, including: fuel model, canopy cover, tree height, canopy base height, canopy bulk density, elevation, slope, and aspect. The data was developed by the Intermountain Regional Office fuels/fire behavior technical specialist from fuels and elevation data with extensive input/guidance from local fuels/fire behavior personnel. For additional information not contained in this metadata, please refer to the plain text read-me file that accompanies this data. NOTE: When using this landscape for FARSITE projections, DO NOT Link Crown Density and Cover, leave it unchecked!
