The Fuel Moisture Data file is one of five data files (G0000388-G0000392) containing weather, fuel moisture and test fire behaviour measurements for 11 field stations across Canada. The measurements were taken by forest researchers between 1931 and 1961. This particular file contains the moisture content measurements of various light and heavy surface fuels, soils and aerial combustibles. Included are: various duff and soil horizons, grasses, ferns, lichens, mosses, shrub foliage, tree foliage, miscellaneous fuels (twigs, branches, wood chips, bark, cones, etc.), and windfall log borings. Also included are weather measurements for use as comparison to the fuel moisture content values. Two weather records were joined to each fuel moisture observation. First the weather observation at the time closest to that of the fuel moisture observation was added. Second, the noon weather for the day was added. The time of all three observations are included.
