Benchmarking performance of annual burn probability modeling against subsequent wildfire activity in California by Christopher J. Moran, Matthew P. Thompson, Bryce A. Young, Joe H. Scott, Melissa R. Jaffe

“…Here, we present a novel performance evaluation of the operational wildfire simulation system FSim, confronting updated BP maps with subsequent fire activity across the state of California over a 4-year period (2020–2023). Results show strong predictive ability: across 5 equal-area BP classes, 56.7–79.8% of the burned area occurred in the top 20% of mapped area; mean (median) BP values in burned areas were 238.5–348.8% (551.4–880.7%) greater than in unburned areas; differences in empirical cumulative distribution functions of BP for burned/unburned areas were statistically significant; Logarithmic Skill Scores ranged from − 0.072 to 0.389 against two reference models. …”
