Abstract:
This data publication contains the location of instruments placed in the field as part of a prescribed fire research campaign conducted at the Camp Swift Military Base in Bastrop County, Texas on January 15, 2014. The Camp Swift Fire Experiment 2014 consisted of three fires ignited in burn blocks of dimensions 100 meters (m) by 100 m on January 15, 2014. Fires were ignited on relatively flat areas of grass vegetation in moderate winds. This dataset represents the locations of 289 ground instruments placed during the research burns. Each point contains additional information about the instrument geographic setup, and accuracy of recorded positions. Data associated with each instrument are available in separate data packages within the Forest Service Research Data Archive.
