Cell2Fire: A Cell-Based Forest Fire Growth Model to Support Strategic Landscape Management Planning

Cell2Fire is a new cell-based wildland fire growth simulator designed to integrate data-driven landscape management planning models. The fire environment is modeled by partitioning the landscape into cells characterized by fuel, weather, moisture content, and topographic attributes. The model can us...
