The complete ERC percentile list is available after you generate ERC Classes. The list includes the ERCs and the corresponding 1 hour, 10 hour, 100 hour, 1000 hour, live herbaceous and live woody fuel moistures for each percentile.
Percentile ranking is based on the historic ERCs for the dates during the years you have selected in the Date Filter, listed above the table. Repeated ERC values indicate that this ERC occurred more than 1 percent of the days. Fuel moistures are the average fuel moisture for days with the corresponding ERC. Percentile ERC can help you modify the ERC bins used for the ERC classes, including the minimum ERC that supports fire movement.
Note: If the percentile table is blank and you are looking at ERC percentiles in an assigned analysis, generate ERC classes again. If the percentile table is blank and you are looking at ERC percentiles in an analysis in review, complete or rejected status, copy the analysis so that you can generate ERC classes and view ERC percentiles in the copied analysis. You cannot generate ERC classes in an analysis that is in review, complete, or rejected status.

NOTE: The live fuel moisture values in the percentile table are calculated using the NFDRS method. This method may produce very different values from those shown in the ERC classes, which are calculated using Growing Season Index (GSI). The live fuel moisture values from these two locations should not be used to validate each other.
