  "definition": "Stand or Canopy Height (SH) describes the average height of the top of the vegetated canopy. SH estimates are used in adjustment of 20 feet winds to mid-flame and in spotting distance models. The forest Canopy Base Height (CBH) describes the average height from the ground to a forest stand's canopy bottom. Specifically, it is the lowest height in a stand at which there is a sufficient amount of forest canopy fuel to propagate fire vertically into the canopy.",
