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 dataset represents the weighted-average fireline intensity (FLI) in kilowatts per meter for a given pixel in the fuelscape. FLI is calculated using heading-only fire behavior and is weighted according to WTP, incorporating both temporal frequencies and the influence of high-spread conditions.
