- Abstract
- PCDANGER is a personal computer application of the NationalFire DangerRating System (NFDRS) that calculates both 1978 and 1988 version fire danger indexes from daily weather observations and forecasts. Its computational routines (NFDRCALC) are the same as those used in theWeather Information Management System (WIMS), which is the current national systemin the United States for daily computation of NFDRS components and indexes. PCDANGER replaces the former PC-based fire danger rating application NFDRSPC.
