Abstract:
This data publication contains spatially explicit high resolution temperature data via infrared thermography for the 4 x 4 meter highly instrumented plots (HIPs) within two operation prescribed fires burned in 2011 as part of the Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE). Infrared images are included as well as comma-delimited ASCII text files consisting of an array (x,y) of temperature values (z) representing pixels of the IR imaging device. Data were obtained from the fires within the burn units 608A and 703C at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. 608A and 703C represent the designators for the burn units in this study. Within each burn unit there were pre-existing 40 x 40 meter vegetation monitoring plots designated by 6ASE, 6ASW, 1CE and 1CW. The infrared imagers were focused nadir on the HIPS which were randomly located within the larger vegetation monitoring plots for each burn unit.
