⚠️There's a newer version (1.2) of this package.Take me there.

Rothermel (version 1.1)

Rothermel fire spread model for R

Description

R build of Rothermel's (1972) model for surface fire rate of spread with some additional utilities (uncertainty propagation, standard fuel model selection, fuel model optimization by genetic algorithm) and sample datasets.
