There are two MTT outputs with ember information. These are not necessarily spot fire locations.
When an ember lands on a node the landing time is compared to the current arrival time of the node, the lower time then becomes the arrival time of the node. Any node can have it's arrival time replaced with a lower one regardless if the lower time is the result of another ember of surface fire spread.
This is a point shapefile of the live ember landing locations for the MTT run.
This is a Comma Separated Value (.CSV) file containing more information about the live embers from the MTT run.
The fields are,
|
Keyword |
Description |
|
LaunchX |
X coordinate of the live ember launch |
|
LaunchY |
Y coordinate of the live ember launch |
|
LandX |
X coordinate of the live ember landing |
|
LandY |
Y coordinate of the live ember landing |
|
LaunchTime |
simulation time when the live ember was lofted from a torching tree |
|
LandTime |
simulation time when the live ember landed, plus any spotting delay |
|
Distance(m) |
distance the ember traveled in meters |
|
Distance(ft) |
distance the ember traveled in feet |
Unlike Farsite's Spot Fire List MTT LandTime and LaunchTime are the same unless Spotting Delay (mins) is greater than zero.
