- Abstract:
-
The bands of an LCP file store data describing terrain, tree canopy, and surface fuel. The LANDFIRE Data Distribution site distributes data in LCP format, and programs such as FARSITE and LFDAT (https://landfire.gov/datatool.php) can create LCP files from a set of input rasters. An LCP file (.lcp) is basically a raw format with a 7,316-byte header described below. The data type for all bands is 16-bit signed integer. Bands are interleaved by pixel. Five bands are required: elevation, slope, aspect, fuel model, and tree canopy cover. Crown fuel bands (canopy height, canopy base height, canopy bulk density), and surface fuel bands (duff, coarse woody debris) are optional. This LCP file utilizes LANDFIRE data, including the optional crown fuel bands but currently not including the optional surface fuel bands. Users can specify Fire Behavior Fuel Model 13 (Anderson, 1982) or 40 (Scott and Burgan, 2005). For additional information on lcp, including header format descriptions, see: <http://www.gdal.org/frmt_lcp.html>. For a discussion of map projection issues when using LCP files for fire behavior simulation, see: https://landfire.gov/notifications21.php.
- Purpose:
-
FARSITE v. 4 landscape file (LCP) is a multi-band raster format used by wildland fire behavior and fire effect simulation models such as FARSITE, FLAMMAP, and FBAT (www.fire.org).
