CLM5-fire

[Sijia Chen]

I would like to ask all seniors, when using CLM5 to simulate fire-related variables, how do you calculate the area and number of fires? Do you calculate it through the variable FAREA_BURNED? I think this variable means the time step area fraction. How to use this? To calculate the fire area of each simulation grid

FAREA_BURNED is output in units of grid cell fraction per second - so you just need to multiply by the grid cell area
