Wind Stream (Automated BFB & STFB)

• Wind Stream information provides 10 days of hourly observations, with the first 7 days used for dead fuel moisture conditioning. Only the percent cloud cover information (for shading) is used in fuel conditioning. Percent cloud cover is not a value collected by RAWS. Therefore, this percentage displays as zeroes, unless rain occurred that hour, in which case 100% cloud cover is recorded.

  

  Wind Stream Example Using RAWS Data

• However, for any days using forecasted data, a percent cloud cover does exist and is used to calculate shading and dead fuel moisture values.
