<dataIdInfo>
<idAbs>In the Fire Information Resource System (FIRES), “Fire Weather Index (FWI)” are divided into seven sub-categories: Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC); Duff Moisture Code (DMC); Drought Code (DC); Initial Spread Index (ISI); Buildup Index (BUI); Fire Weather Index (FWI), and Daily Severity Rating (DSR).The FWI codes and indices are calculated from daily noon fire weather observations and reported in FIRES for each weather station as they occur throughout the fire season. The FWI codes and index values are interpolated within AWARE using the inverse distance weighting (IDW) to the power of two multivariate interpolation method. The FWI data is automatically extracted, imported, and calculated within AWARE daily around 14:00 MDT (20:00 UTC) or shortly after.</idAbs>
