CFBM simulations and verification dataset for sheltered and unsheltered wildland fires

There are two unsheltered ground fires (no canopy: Boone Draw, BD, and Murphy, MY, fires) and two sheltered fires (spreading under the canopy; Hayden Pass, HP, and Indian Valley, IV, fires). For the unsheltered fires we use two options to calculate the location of the mid-flame height.

Option 1 uses the fuel bed depth (opt1) whereas option 2 uses Byram's equation (opt2). For the sheltered fires we also use two values for the wind adjustment factor: 0.1 and 0.2 (opt3_0p1 and opt3_0p2, respectively). Simulations are compared against observed fire perimeters and active-fire detections from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument.
