Standard Namespace

This page lists the standard variable names used in the FireBench project. These names ensure consistency and clarity across the codebase and related data files. The standard names are structured from left to right from the broader category to the highest details. For example, the dry fuel load variables all start with FUEL_LOAD_DRY even if you would say dry fuel load. This rule ensures to group the variables with common meaning. The standard unit is given between brackets []. If units are not applicable, the varibale type is given between parenthesis ().

The Standard Variable Namespace svn is accessed in workflows using from firebench import svn.
