McArthur Forest Fire Danger Index: NARCliM dataset: ~50km resolution, 2020-2039 period, ECHAM5 and R1 ensemble member 

NSW Office of Environment and Heritage Macarthur Forest Fire Danger index. Modelled fire frequency projections at ~50km resolution for 2020-2039 period using ECHAM5 and R1 ensemble member using the WRF 3.3 model. This product will provide policy makers, land managers and researchers access to accurate and temporally fine scaled information with which to make hazard reduction and management strategies. 

Derived from NARCliM dataset (Evans et al 2014 GMD), which was produced by Jason Evans and colleagues at the Climate Change Research Centre, University of New South Wales (Australia). Input files are 3pm daily wind speed, daily maximum temperature, 3pm daily relative humidity and daily drought factor. Calculation follows Finkele et al 2006 AMM. 

This product will provide policy makers, land managers and researchers access to accurate and temporally fine scaled information with which to make hazard reduction and management strategies. 

McArthur Forest Fire Danger Index has been modelled using WRF v3.3 under the NARCliM project.
