git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/achubaty/MPB- Climate projections are in climate-maps/
- Digital elevation models are in dem-maps/
- MPB outbreak maps and climate suitability projections are in mpb-maps/
- Pine maps are in pine-maps/
- Wind maps have yet to be developed.
Data used by modules are automatically downloaded during first-run of the model. However, note that proprietary/confidential data used by modules requires authorization.

- The Safranyik et al. (1999) model has been ported to GNU Fortran by Bill Riel and Alex Chubaty in the safranyik-mpb repository; elements of which are of interest to the development of this model.
