Abstract
Calibration and testing of a computer simulation of the burning of lar ge woody natural fuels has been presented previously in this journal. This note describes an improved calibration of the model for better pr ediction of fuel loading reductions. Using the same data as before, fu el consumption predictions are improved substantially by making the ar ea influence factor a function of fuel moisture content.
