It is the best performing model available to us, but it can overestimate and underestimate the curing levels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Across bare sand and soil, the model over-estimates curing. In areas of new growth from rainfall, the satellite sensor can pick up the green growth and underestimate curing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_125869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-125869\" style=\"width: 586px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125869 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/GrasslandCuringMa_66026.jpg?_t=1705532966\" alt=\"\" width=\"586\" height=\"414\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-125869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The CFA&#8217;s grassland curing map for Victoria as of January 1.

The course was so easy and CFA gives you great tools to support the role.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This really is citizen science at its best, the information we observers gather has an immediate benefit to the community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t just see grass any more when I am out on the road, I see so much more detail.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It might be dry at the top but still green at the bottom, and I know exactly where it is in the curing process no matter where I am.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr Wright said being a grassland curing observer was a great way to contribute to CFA and Victoria&#8217;s understanding of the landscape for this summer and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyone who is interested in the role can participate, not just CFA volunteers.
