One-line model description This component generates a random fire event or fire time series from the Weibull statistical distribution.
Extended model description This component generates random numbers using the Weibull distribution

(Weibull, 1951). No particular units must be used, but it was written with the fire recurrence units in time (yrs). Using the Weibull Distribution assumes two things: All elements within the study area have the same fire regime. Each element must have (on average) a constant fire regime during the time span of the study.
As of Sept. 2013, fires are considered instantaneous events independent of other fire events in the time series.

Typical run time


Describe input parameters grid: landlab model grid

mean_fire_recurrence : float
Average time between fires for a given location

shape_parameter : float
Describes the skew of the Weibull distribution.
If shape < 3.5, data skews left.
If shape == 3.5, data is normal.
If shape > 3.5, data skews right.

scale_parameter : float, optional
Describes the peak of the Weibull distribution, located at the 63.5% value of the cumulative distribution function. If unknown, it can be found using mean fire recurrence value and the get_scale_parameter().

Input format ASCII
Other input format
Describe output parameters time_to_next_fire : float

Updated value for the time to next fire.
