Yes. The wind speed and direction values (from NDFD or user determined) are used as inputs for WindNinja to create gridded winds at 200-meter resolution. NDFD wind speed and direction or values supplied by the fire behavior specialist are used as inputs to generate gridded winds. ———– Last updated on 11/8/2010 12:21:49 PM.
