Statistical Methods for 1 Estimating Historical Fire 2 Frequency from Multiple Fire
7 The paper considers the statistical analysis of fire-interval charts 8 based on fire-scar data. Estimation of the fire interval (expected time 9 between scar-registering fires at any location) by maximum likelihood 10 is presented. Because of the fact that fires spread, causing a lack of 11 independence in scar registration at distinct sites, an over-dispersed 12 binomial model is used leadin...
متن کاملEvaluating wildfire simulators using historical fire data
High-performance wildfire simulators allow the future location of a wildfire to be rapidly predicted. The accuracy of such simulators needs to be evaluated; this can be achieved by comparing simulated and observed spread for documented historical fires. A key issue relates to the accuracy of data obtained from historical fires, such as the time-varying fire location, fire-ground weather and acc...
متن کاملEstimating the Fire Interval Distribution for Los Angeles County, California using Spatial-Temporal Fire History Data
In this paper a new method is described for estimating the fire interval distribution of a region using spatial-temporal fire history data. In Los Angeles County, California, detailed information on fires has been available through the use of geographic information systems (GIS) technology. The proposed estimator is applied to GIS data covering the years 1878–1996 and it is shown that fuel age ...
متن کاملOn developing a historical fire weather data-set for Australia
The study of past weather and climate is a crucial step in understanding the world around us. Weather and climate vary across the entire spectrum of temporal and spatial scales. This variability provides an envelope for human society, impacting our health and resource availability while setting the stage for natural disasters. Study of the past can assist in understanding the changes expected i...
متن کاملFire history in western Patagonia from paired tree-ring fire-scar and charcoal records
Fire history reconstructions are typically based on tree ages and tree-ring fire scars or on charcoal in sedimentary records from lakes or bogs, but rarely on both. In this study of fire history in western Patagonia (47–48 S) in southern South America (SSA) we compared three sedimentary charcoal records collected in bogs with tree-ring firescar data collected at 13 nearby sample sites. We exami...
