Time Rate of Consumption

Models to compare

FIRST ORDER FIRE EFFECTS MODEL (FOFEM)

Fuel consumption calculations from the FOFEM model.  FOFEM uses a physical model of heat transfer and burning rate of woody fuels as they interact over the duration of a burn.

• in the process of being implemented in the BlueSky Framework
  

Fire Emissions Production Simulator (FEPS)

The Fire Emission Production Simulator (FEPS) generates temporal profiles that are used to calculate hourly consumption rates.  Only appropriate for prescribed burns.

• used as implemented in the BlueSky Framework

WRAP Wildfire Time Profile

The WRAP Wildfire profile was developed from data by Air Sciences in a report to the Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP) to meet the needs of modeling wildfires in the west for the EPA regional haze rule.  Invokes a static time profile based on data.  Only appropriate for wildfires.

• used as implemented in the BlueSky Framework
