Forest fire danger indices are calculated for a number of Tasmanian locations over an extended period. Significant features of the resulting climatology include: the existence of a springtime peak in fire danger in eastern and southeastern Tasmania (although with substantial interannual variability)...

| Summary: | Forest fire danger indices are calculated for a number of Tasmanian locations over an extended period. Significant features of the resulting climatology include: the existence of a springtime peak in fire danger in eastern and southeastern Tasmania (although with substantial interannual variability); an apparent trend of increased severity of southeast Tasmanian springtime fire weather events; and differences in diurnal behaviour between the elevated location examined and those at lower levels. |
