Abstract:

This data publication contains thermocouple data collected 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. Each of the three burn blocks had four thermocouple rakes installed in pairs, end to end. Each rake had sixteen thermocouples installed. Measurements were obtained from before the fire front passed the rake until after the fire burned the entire burn block. Measurements were logged at 30 hertz (Hz). These data contain a feature class for each distinct thermocouple rake that recorded data at the Camp Swift Fire Experiment 2014. Some thermocouples were damaged and did not collect data as noted in the data quality section of the metadata.
