The following tables contain support files for a US Forest Service General Technical Report to be released in 2007. The files include nomographs for estimating fire behavior characteristics using the original 13 fire behavior models described by Anderson (1982) and using the 40 new fire behavior fuel models described by Scott and Burgan (2005). Adobe Reader is required to view and print these nomographs and all their associated charts. If you do not already have Adobe Reader, download it at http://www.adobe.com/downloads . The full GTR, which includes instructions for using these nomographs and several examples, is available for download and/or ordering at http://www.treesearch.fs.fed.us/pubs/27177.
