    This datasheet contains raster files (.tif) relevant to the associated study area. In SyncroSim Studio, the raster file can be selected by clicking on the yellow folder icon, removed by clicking on the trash can icon, and exported by clicking on the export icon. If generating the model programmatically from R or Python, the raster file column should be the absolute path to the corresponding raster file.

    All landscape maps are required to be of the same projection, extent, and origin. BurnP3+ must also be able to project coordinates from EPSG:4326 to the projection used here. Appropriate local UTM projections are preferred to ensure that North is properly aligned with the grid.

The results of this sampling are used to populate the Deterministic Ignition Location datasheet. For a fully deterministic run, users can forgo running this transformer and fill the Deterministic Ignition Location datasheet directly. Datasheets in this node are used to configure this transformer.

    To deterministically assign an ignition count value using this column, the Ignition Count Distribution column in this datasheet must be empty (even if hidden by right clicking anywhere in the datasheet window and deselecting the desired column from the context menu). If the Ignition Count column contains multiple values, and the Ignition Count Distribution column is empty, the Ignition Count rows will be sampled with a uniform probability.

          Data Type: Double
          Default: 1

    Ignition Count Distribution

    Column internal name: DistributionType

    Optional. Defines the type of distribution used to sample ignition counts.

    To set a user-defined distribution in this datasheet, the name of the distribution must first be specified in the project Distributions datasheet. Then, the associated Values and Relative Frequencies of each user defined distribution must be defined in the scenario Distributions datasheet under the Advanced node. When creating a user-defined distribution, all other columns in this datasheet should be ignored.

    To use a built-in statistical distribution type (i.e., Normal, or Gamma), set this column to either Normal, or Gamma, and specify a value for Ignition Count (mean), and Ignition Count SD (if not, the defaults will be set to 1). The Ignition Count Min and Ignition Count Max may also be specified to prevent extreme values from being sampled (by default the Min is set to 1, and the Max is set to Inf).

    Ignition Count Distribution Examples

       1. How to set a fixed ignition count

    To deterministically set a fixed ignition count, provide a single value in the Ignition Count column. The Ignition Count Distribution column must be empty (even if it is hidden).

    For example, to tell the model to only sample a single ignition for each iteration, you would set up of the Ignition Count Distribution datasheet in the following way:

    Note: to unhide columns in this datasheet, right click anywhere in the datasheet window, and select the hidden column from the context menu. To hide a column, right click anywhere in the datasheet window and deselect the desired column from the context menu.

       2. How to set an equal probability distribution

    To set an equal probability distribution, provide multiple rows of values in the Ignition Count column. Each value in the Ignition Count column will be sampled with an equal likelihood (in this case, each value has a 25% chance of being sampled). The Ignition Count Distribution column must be empty (even if it is hidden).

       3. How to set a user-defined distribution

    To set a user-defined distribution, a distribution name must first be specified in the project Distributions datasheet under the BurnP3+ | Advanced node.

    Next, add Values and Relative Frequencies for the distribution in the scenario Distributions datasheet. The Relative Frequency values are normalized by dividing by the sum of all values in the Relative Frequency column and therefore do no need to sum to one hundred. For instance, in the example below the sum of the values in the Relative Frequency column is 14, so the likelihood that a value of “4” will be sampled is 4/14, or ~29%.

    Next, in the Sample Ignitions | Ignition Count datasheet, ensure that the Ignition Count, Ignition Count SD, Ignition Count Min, and Ignition Count Max columns are empty. Then, assign the defined Distribution in the Ignition Count Distribution column.

       4. How to set a built-in Statistical distribution

    Users may choose between two built-in Statistical distributions: Normal or Gamma. Specify the distribution type in the Ignition Count Distribution column by choosing one of the options from the dropdown menu, and set values for Ignition Count (mean), and Ignition Count SD (otherwise, both Ignition Count, and Ignition Count SD will default to 1). Optionally, users may specify values for Ignition Count Min, and Ignition Count Max to prevent extreme values.

    Relative Burn Probability Map

    Column internal name: RelativeBurnProbability

    The burn probability of each cell relative (on a linear scale) to the average burn probability of all cells in the landscape summarized across all iterations.

    For instance: a relative burn probability of 1 means it is just as likely to burn as the average, a relative burn probability of 2 means it’s 2 times more likely to burn, a relative burn probability of 3 means it’s 3 times more likely to burn, and so on. If a cell is less likely to burn compared to the average, the negative reciprocal of the probability over the average is used. For instance, a relative burn probability of -2 means it’s half as likely to burn compared to the average cell, a relative burn probability of -3 means it’s 1/3rd as likely to burn, and so on.

    Values are discrete integers and a relative burn probability of zero is not possible. Any values above 10, and below -10 are truncated to 11 and -11, respectively.

If a cell is less likely to burn compared to the average, the negative reciprocal of the probability over the average is used. For instance, a relative burn probability of -2 means it’s half as likely to burn compared to the average cell, a relative burn probability of -3 means it’s 1/3rd as likely to burn, and so on.

    Values are discrete integers and a relative burn probability of zero is not possible. Any values above 10, and below -10 are truncated to 11 and -11, respectively.

    If set to Yes a seasonal relative burn probability map will be created, and if set to No a relative seasonal burn probability map will not be created.

    Seasonal Burn Count Map

    Column internal name: SeasonalBurnCount

    The number of times a cell burned across all iterations, stratified by season. This is an intermediate output to Seasonal Burn Probability. If the Seasonal Burn Probability Map output is chosen, but not the Seasonal Burn Count Map, the Seasonal Burn Count Maps will still be generated during the model run but will then be purged on run completion. Iterations that do not meet their sampled burn targets by way of resampling (see the Fire Resampling Options datasheet) are removed from the total number of iterations, and thus not included in the burn count.

    Note: the sum of all seasonal burn maps (except All) is always the same or greater than the non-seasonal burn count. This is because a single cell can be burned by multiple fires in different seasons, but a single iteration. In this case, burn count maps would count the burn(s) independently, but the non-seasonal burn count would only count the burn once.

    If set to Yes a seasonal burn count map will be created, and if set to No a seasonal burn count map will not be created.

    This datasheet is an output for the Summarize Burn Probability transformer.
