Anahtar Kelimeler:Forest fire prediction,Fire weather indices,Efficient parameters
Özet: Forest fire prediction proves to contribute in preventing fire occurrence or reducing its catastrophic impacts in worst cases on human lives, properties and green forestry. Seven existing fire weather indices are studied in this paper. The aim is to find the best fitting model for Lebanon Mediterranean conditions among Keetch Byram, Nesterov, Modified Nesterov, Angstrom, Modified Keetch Byram, FMI and FWI Canadian index. Meteorological data from Lebanon are implemented for that purpose. On the behalf, a study is held on the most efficient parameters allowing to find an adapted empirical drought index to Lebanon and Mediterranean conditions in the future.
