“…The main dataset used as the basis of this study is the Bureau of Meteorology Atmospheric highresolution Regional Reanalysis for Australia for the Tasmanian region (BARRA-TA), which consists of various weather parameters, such as cloud coverage, precipitation, temperature, dew point temperature, geopotential height, soil moisture, and relative humidity represented at various atmospheric pressure levels (Eizenberg et al, 2021;Su et al, 2019). In addition, the surface wind in this dataset is employed to produce another surface wind field downscaled by WindNinja, a diagnostic tool (Firelab, n.d., 2020;Ozaki et al, 2022). These parameters, including two types of these surface wind fields, are used to parameterize the Prototype 2 fire simulator, and used to produce wind vector maps and numerical weather model vertical soundings (NWMVS).…”
