Abstract:

The Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE) was designed to collect atmospheric, fuels, fire behavior, energy balance, emissions, and fire effects data to evaluate and advance fire models and further our understanding of fire science questions. This data package contains geometrically rectified and radiometrically calibrated raw long wave infrared (LWIR) images collected with the Wildfire Airborne Sensor Program (WASP) sensor at Eglin Air Force Base near Valparaiso, Florida in longleaf pine (Pinus palustrus) ecosystems of the southeastern USA as part of the RxCADRE project. The LWIR images quantify ground-leaving exitance released during five operational surface fires that burned in forested burn blocks in 2011 (608A and 703C), non-forested burn blocks (L1G and L2G), and a forested burn block in 2012 (L2F). Images are available every 4 seconds for the 2011 burns and every three seconds for the 2012 burns within each aircraft pass over a burn block.
