Description:
NEXUS is an Excel spreadsheet that links surface and crown fire prediction models. It is used to: estimate surface, transition, and crown fire behavior; generate site specific indices of torching and crown fire potential, build and test custom surface fuel models; evaluate alternative treatments for reducing risk of crown fire; explore the influence of different factors on predicted fire, behavior and crowning potential using existing fire behavior models.
Suggested Use(s):
evaluate alternative treatments for reducing risk of crown fire, explore the influence of different factors on predicted fire, behavior and crowning potential using existing fire behavior models, test custom fuel models
