Fireline intensity potential
Fireline intensity measures the rate of heat output per unit length (kW/m2) along the fire’s front and provides valuable information to firefighters, fire managers, fire behaviour analysts and land use planners.
Data
Fireline intensity (FLI) was generated across continental Australia, using baseline and future projections.
A suite of modelled data was produced, accounting for climate projections and relevant return time intervals (a prediction of future extremes), representing fire behaviour in the form of fire rate of spread (ROS) and fireline intensity (FLI).
Additional data such as the Forest Fire Danger Index (FFDI) are also produced.
