#fire calculator

The fire calculator is a tool to calculate some fire weather indices from meteorological parameters. It consists of a library and a command line application. It is coded in the Scala language, which is targetting the Java virtual machine (jvm).

##features

This tool reads meteorological data from a *.csv file and calculates the fire weather indices according to the inputs, storing the results in another *.csv file and the details of the calculation in a log file, either in text or json format (or both). For each index multiple possible input parameters have been specified, according to a ranking from the optimal to the less suitable choice. For example for the canadian FWI if the parameters at noon are not available, the program will try to compute it with other meaningful daily values. Variable choice is indicated in the logs.
