Extended Abstract (2.0M)4B.4
Simulating diurnally driven slope winds with WindNinja
Jason M. Forthofer, USDA, Missoula, MT; and K. S. Shannon and B. W. Butler
WindNinja is a simple diagnostic model designed for simulating fine scale, terrain-influenced winds. A recent addition to WindNinja is an empirical slope flow model. The presentation will discuss the basis of this model, it's implementation in WindNinja, and it's influence on simulated fire behavior.
