Wildfire-Climate Regression Tool
 Entry ID: WALTER_WCRT

[ Get Service ]
[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The Wildfire-Climate Regression tool allows users to examine the statistical
relationships between antecedent climate and wildfire variability. Regression
relationships between wildfire statistics and climate variables were developed
for southeast Arizona using data from the period of 1973-2001.

Potential Uses:

1. Examine how precipitation, temperature, and drought indices statistically
relate to the total area burned and total number of fires across southeast
Arizona.

2. Assess how past and current climate conditions might relate to the upcoming
wildfire season.
