The F3 modeled-based emissions could be a more locally precise alternative for the standard Landfire/FCCS based estimated emissions for wildfire emissions. Reporting units are not on a per acre, but a per pixel basis, so that zonal summaries for the area of interest can quickly total up the possible emissions, and compare them to Rx fire emissions.----------------This raster has been modified from the base 30m version in the following ways:-------- - It has been aggregated from a 30m to a 300m scale by averaging across the 30m values-------- - The normalized values are rescaled based on nearly the full range of actual values, with the most extreme values truncated at the 1st and 99th percentile to reduce the influence of outliers on the expressed range of normalized values, with -1 representing high values, and 1 representing low values. This interpretation reflects concerns for poor air quality affecting human health and recreation opportunities, with lower emissions considered more favorable.----------------- Unit Of Measure: Short tons of PM2.5 |
