The model simulates moisture content of dead fuel, with sub-daily resolution and fuel-specific parameters.
This repository provides code and data for the model's definition and calibration process descibed in:
Nicolò Perello, Andrea Trucchia, Mirko D’Andrea, Silvia Degli Esposti, Paolo Fiorucci, Andrea Gollini, Dario Negro, "An adaptable dead fuel moisture model for various fuel types and temporal scales tailored for wildfire danger assessment", Environmental Modelling & Software, Volume 183, 2025, 106254, ISSN 1364-8152, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2024.106254
The model is available in the DFMC_model folder, while the calibration procedure, data and results are available in the calibration folder.
The interactive_run.ipynb notebook contains and example of the model run.
