Description: This spatial dataset was produced with the Wildfire Exposure Simulation Tool (WildEST), a cloud-based geospatial fire behavior characteristic simulation system. WildEST performs multiple deterministic simulations under a range of weather types (wind speed, wind direction, fuel moisture content) and weights those results based on weather type probabilities (WTP).
This ember production dataset represents the conditional ember production index (cEPI), or relative production of embers per pixel, given that a fire occurs, based on surface and canopy fuel characteristics, climate, and topography within the pixel. Units are an index of the relative number of embers. Conditional EPI is based on heading-only fire behavior.
