Landscape Fire Behavior GeoTIFFs from IFTDSS

The GeoTIFF Landscape Fire Behavior model output file includes 18 bands. There are 12 in addition to the 6 that are visible within the IFTDSS application. The downloads also have different units than IFTDSS presents:

Band number and units for outputs within IFTDSS and contained in output files.

A GeoTIFF values for non-burnable pixels are 0.000000 unless the GeoTIFF download was request prior to 6/24/19.

B If Uphill or Downhill wind direction was selected during the model run, the wind direction will be displayed on the GeoTIFF raster grid as -1 for uphill winds, -2 for downhill winds.

C 1000 Hour fuel moisture will always be equal to 100 Hour fuel moisture in the GeoTIFF download.
