Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title Diurnal dead fuel moisture content for selected Hawaiian fuels 1999-2001
Summary:  View help for Summary Diurnal fuel moisture content and associated weather data were collected in support of fire danger work in Hawaii in 1999, 2000 and 2001. Locations included the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Maui, and Oahu. The majority of the data are for dead fuels; live fuels were only sampled in 1999 at Pohakuloa Training Area on the island of Hawaii. Fuel types of concern from a fire danger perspective were identified by the Hawaii Division of Forestry and Wildlife, National Park Service and U.S Army Garrison - Hawaii. At each location hourly samples were collected over approximately 96 hours, except when the samples contained surface water from rain or fog. Fuels were primarily grasses with some foliage from exotic forest plantations. Approximately 1450 hours of observations are contained in the data. Data provided in this package include hourly fuel moisture data collected at 15 diurnal fuel moisture sampling sites from 1999-2001 as well as location and elevation information for each of these 15 sites. Hourly weather data collected by various Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) stations are also provided for each year from 1999-2001; however, stations and variables collected vary slightly across the years. Additional supplemental files are also included, such as the study plan, progress reports, sampling schedule, etc.
