Test fire, fuel moisture and weather observations – basic weather data

This dataset contains information relating to weather, fuel moisture and test fire behaviour measurements for eleven field stations across Canada. The measurements were taken by forest researchers between 1931 and 1961. These datasets have been converted from their legacy file

structures and encoding schemes so they can be used by

contemporary computers that are based upon the ASCII

character-encoding scheme. Each dataset will require

specialized software such as a statistical tool, to

interpret and analyze the content in each file. The attached

codebook describes the file’s structure and defines the

variables contained in each field. Each code book is a

compilation of the summary description of the dataset as

provided by the creating department.  As such, it is

available in English only.
