Automated weather element input to forest fire severity forecasting / by R.L. Raddatz and G.B. Atkinson = Introduction automatique des éléments météorologiques pour la prévision de la gravité des incendies...: En57-58/877-1982E-PDF
"Across Manitoba and Saskatchewan appropriate weather element forecasts for each forestry station are automatically derived from grid-point output from the Canadian Meteorological Centre Spectral Model assuming a well-mixed planetary boundary layer. After modification, as required, by the Forestry Meteorologist, these forecasts are used to calculate Fire Weather Index values, which are entirely a function of weather, to predict the short-term potential forest fire severity. Verification statistics for 1980 and 1981 indicate that the forecasts of temperature, humidity and wind speed were correct about two thirds of the time, and the forecasts of precipitation about 80 per cent of the time"--Abstract.
