Threshold evaluation scheme. A given quantile (in this example, 75%) is evaluated on the FWI distribution of the fire events on all the region (left). The corresponding FWI value is searched in the general FWI distribution and a new quantile is evaluated (in this example, 87%). The quantile so found is used to define a threshold for each warning area (right).
