Abstract:
This data publication contains in-situ sonic anemometer 3D wind velocity and temperature, thermocouple air temperatures, atmospheric pressure, and radiative/total heat flux time series data collected during the 2012 Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE). Two sonic anemometers were mounted on a tower placed within each burn plot along with an array of thermocouples every meter from the ground. Radiative and total heat flux sensors were mounted on the tower in the nadir-viewing direction to measure the heat flux as the fire propagated beneath the sensors. Atmospheric pressure sensor was also mounted on the tower to measure the pressure change due to the fire frontal passage. Data were collected at the Eglin Air Force Base, northeast of Valparaiso, Florida in Okaloosa County. Study sites included six small replicate grass fires (S3, S4, S5, S7, S8, and S9), two large operational grass fires (L1G and L2G), and one large operational forested unit (L2F). The sensor recorded data prior to ignition and during the fires.
