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 a geodatabase with the position and time of either helicopters that dispensed aerially delivered, delayed-ignition devices in 2011 or all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in 2012 on which were mounted drip torches. These five prescribed surface fires were operational burns conducted at Eglin Air Force Base near Valparaiso, Florida. On 6 February and 8 February 2011, forested blocks 703C and 608A were burned, respectively. On 4 November and 10 November 2012, non-forested blocks L1G and L2G were burned, respectively, and on 11 November 2012, forested block L2F was burned. Data are available as both points and line segments.
