Title: Delivery and Demonstration of a Surface Wind Simulation Tool for Fire Management Decision Support

Project Proposal Abstract: Previous funding from the JFSP has been used to test the utility of commercial engineering software for simulating surface wind flows in support of fire management decisions. Efforts over the last three years have demonstrated that this technology can be very useful as a wildland fire management decision support tool. This proposal requests funding to form a rapid response research team that will support wildland fire management teams with high resolution gridded wind simulations during the 2007-2008 fire seasons. The primary objective will be to use opportunities for supporting IMT incidents to validate, improve and document the utility of the gridded wind technology for fire management decision support. Additionally the team will complete the WindWizard wind simulation tool and supporting user's guide and technical support.
