WindNinja | Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory
WindNinja is a computer program that computes spatially varying wind fields for wildland fire and other applications requiring high resolution wind prediction 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 ...
WINDNINJA - Fire Lab
So something more was needed, something which could sharpen the focus of those NWS forecasts to make them truly useful to fire crews. Thanks to the U.S. Forest Service, that ‘something’ is now available to anyone with a computer …

WindNinja | US Forest Service Research and Development
Mar 21, 2023 · WindNinja is a computer program and mobile app that computes spatially varying wind fields for wildland fire and other applications requiring high resolution wind prediction in complex terrain.
How Does WindNinja Work? - Fire Lab
How Does WindNinja Work? Overview. Build a 3-D model (mesh) of the air. prescribe an initial wind field. compute final mass/momentum conserving wind field. Requires a good estimate of the initial wind field. Adjusts for terrain (conservation of mass/momentum) Parameterizations for some other effects (e.g., diurnal slope flows)
WindNinja Tutorials - Fire Lab
WindNinja is a computer program that computes spatially-varying wind fields for wildland fire applications. It is specifically designed to simulate the mechanical and thermal effects of the local terrain on the wind.
WindNinja-Mobile | US Forest Service Research and Development
Oct 29, 2024 · The WindNinja computer program is a powerful tool for predicting wind fields in complex terrain but is inconvenient for field users. To solve this problem, WindNinja-Mobile has been developed so field going personnel can also benefit from these high-resolution wind forecasts on their phones and tablets.

What is WindNinja? WindNinja is a computer program that computes spatially varying wind fields for wildland fire applications. It is specifically designed to simulate the effect of terrain on wind flow.
WindNinja Update | US Forest Service Research and Development
Sep 30, 2024 · The complex terrain found in fire-prone landscapes causes local changes in wind speed and direction that are not predicted well by standard weather models or expert judgment. WindNinja is a computer program developed at the Missoula Fire Lab that helps fire managers predict these winds.
