Modification of the Fosberg fire weather index to include drought

Abstrac t . The Fosberg fire weather index is a simple tool for evaluating the potential influence of weather on a wildland fire based on temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. A modification to this index that includes the impact of precipitation is proposed. The Keetch-Byram drought index is used to formulate a ‘fuel availability’ factor that modifies the response of the fire weather ...

Uncertainty and the Economic Implications of Weather Modification – Integrating Hypothesis Testing into Benefit-Cost Analysis

The localised modification of weather, intended or inadvertent, is difficult to detect due high level of natural variation in weather conditions and the reliance on observational as opposed to controlled experimental data. As a consequence statistical analysis often generates inconclusive results when using standard scientific precedents with respect to hypothesis testing. In fact, most cloud s...
