Table 1.
Fire weather data used in fire modeling in Bages County. Extreme fire weather conditions (97th percentile) were used for large fire event modeling in the study area. Weather scenarios were generated with Fire Family Plus [8] using as reference 1998 to 2016 historic hourly data records from U4-Castellnou de Bages automatic weather station (meteo.cat). We considered the dominant wildfire season southern wind direction (180°) for fire modeling [10].
