IBM SP in order to provide predictions of various meteorological variables with a level of detail that is currently unavailable for the Hawaiian Islands. We plan to make runs for Oahu and Kauai at 2 km resolution in the near future. The Ohana is developing these high resolution forecasts for a fire behavior modeling system which can be applied nationwide. Hawaii and California will serve as test areas during the prototype development. This is a typical FWI forecast provided regularly on the Ohana's web site for Maui and other Hawaiian islands.
Red colors indicate regions of increased fire danger.
