Description
This ensemble dataset presents the study of wildfires, and more specifically, the phenomena known as vorticity-driven lateral spread (VLS), in wildfires of mountain and canyon topographies. Simulations names are first tagged with the topographical structure - either mountain or
valley. Mountain simulations are then tagged with either head curve or back curve to indicate whether the fire starts as a headfire or a backing fire. For a full description, see the website archive.
