Fire Danger Index (Simplified)

Description

A simplified fire danger proxy based on temperature, humidity, wind speed, and recent precipitation. This is NOT the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (Van Wagner 1987); for the full FWI system, use the cffdrs package.

Usage

ck_fire_danger(tavg, humidity, wind_speed, precip)

Arguments

tavg	Numeric vector of temperatures (degrees C).
humidity	Numeric vector of relative humidity (percent, 0-100).
wind_speed	Numeric vector of wind speeds (km/h).
precip	Numeric vector of daily precipitation (mm).

Value

A data frame with columns value, index, and unit.

Examples

ck_fire_danger(
  tavg = c(30, 25, 35),
  humidity = c(20, 40, 15),
  wind_speed = c(25, 10, 30),
  precip = c(0, 5, 0)
)
