In the Fire Information Resource System (FIRES), “Green Up Stages” are divided into four categories: Snow; Grass/Shrub; Deciduous; and Coniferous. Deciduous stages are reported as: DCB (Deciduous Closed Bud) if 75% or more of the buds on trembling aspen trees in the surrounding area are closed; DOB (Deciduous Open Bud) if 75% or more of buds on trembling aspen trees in the surrounding area have swollen to the point that green leaf parts are visible; DLO (Deciduous Leaf Out) if 75% or more of the leaves of trembling aspen trees in the surrounding area have opened and are at least 1.25cm in diameter; DCC (Deciduous Colour Change) if 50% or more of trembling aspen leaves have changed from green to fall colour; or DLF (Deciduous Leaf Fall) if 50% or more of the trembling aspen leaves have fallen from the trees. These stages are collected and reported in FIRES for each weather station as they occur throughout the fire season. The data is automatically extracted and imported into AWARE daily at 13:45h.AWARE has the capability to modify fuel types on a daily basis for the most accurate predictions of fire behaviour. AWARE uses the data to generate grids that will be used to modify the fuel types spatially. Deciduous stages are used to transition Aspen and Boreal Mixedwood FBP fuel types from leafless to green phases and vice versa. Inverse distance weighting is used to interpret values between weather stations. These Green Up Stages can be displayed independently in AWARE to show the greenup throughout the province on a daily basis. |
