Question 8. These five model runs all used the same NDVI (satellite) data, so what is responsible for the day-to-day changes?
 






 
 
Answer. The day to day changes are due to daily weather changes, including a front that enters the state on the 19th. Warm air ahead of the front aids in fire development. Behind the front, the cooler temperatures help to inhibit fires.
