Data tables
In addition to the weather variables, the data tables in Foresight Bushfire also display a range of fire behaviour models (Figure 13). The fire behaviour models available are:
- McArthur Mk5
- Leaflet 80
- VESTA
- Grass
- Mallee Heath
You can use the tab at the top of the data table to select a fire behaviour model. This will display the relevant model output for that location, using the forecast weather and fuel variables for that location. The calculation variables, fine fuel load, slope and wind reduction factor for the model selected is displayed at the top of the table and can be edited by users with Advanced Access.
