This dataset is a 270-m cell size raster representing the relative probability of large fire occurrence based on projected future (2020-2050) conditions under MIROC5 GCM and RCP 8.5 emissions scenario. This model used 9 explanatory variables: topographic heterogeneity, Santa Ana wind speed, minimum temperature, annual precipitation, distance to roads, dead wood biomass, topographic position, distance to development, and southwest index. This model had a mean 10-fold cross-validated test AUC of 0.67, overall accuracy of 0.64, and TSS of 0.29.
