<p>Wind is one of the most important environmental factors affecting wildland fire behavior. Complex terrain in fire-prone landscapes induces local changes in the near-surface wind that are not predicted well by either operational weather models or expert judgment. WindNinja was developed to help fire managers predict these winds.</p>

<div class="faq_question"><h2>Purpose</h2></div>
<div class="faq_answer_container">
<div class="faq_answer">
<p>WindNinja is a computer program that computes spatially-varying wind fields for wildland fire and other applications requiring high-resolution wind predictions in complex terrain. It was developed to be used by emergency responders within their typical operational constraints of fast simulation times (seconds), low CPU requirements (single processor laptops), and low technical expertise.</p>

<div class="faq_question"><h2>Running WindNinja</h2></div>
<div class="faq_answer_container">
<div class="faq_answer">
<p>WindNinja can be initialized in three ways.</p>
<ol>
<li>User-specified average wind speed and direction. ("Domain Average Initialization")</li>
<li>Data from one or more weather stations. ("Point Initialization")</li>
<li>Coarse-scale weather models from NOAA. ("Weather Model Initialization")</li>
</ol>
<p>WindNinja also requires elevation data (in the form of a digital elevation model) and specification of the dominant vegetation type. WindNinja can obtain this data from internet sources.</p>
