What does MW mean in this setting? I assume the numeric is the number acres of the fire.

@46er
It's a Megawatt. In this case, it's MW/km2.

@David-Polášek Thank you.

@46er In the context of fire, MW/km² refers to the fire radiative power (FRP), which measures the rate at which energy is radiated from a fire. It is typically expressed in megawatts (MW) and provides valuable information about a fire's energy release rate. This metric is used to assess the intensity of wildfires and their potential impact on the environment.
