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).The 95th Percentile Fireline Intensity is the weighted-mean Fireline Intesity for a subset of Weather Types that yield the highest Fireline Intensityand collectively account for 5% of the overall Weather Type Probability at a given pixel. WildEST calculates the 95th Percentile Fireline Intensity as a pixel-independent calculation where the percentiles are respective of the local weather and fire behavior as opposed to a spatially constant ordered list of Weather Types.
