RxCADRE 2011 and 2012: Predicted surface fuel maps

dataset
posted on 2024-09-13, 16:23 authored by Andrew T. Hudak, Benjamin C. Bright
This data package contains surface fuel maps created as a research product of the 2011 and 2012 Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE). Maps are located in Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) near Valparaiso, Florida. GeoTiffs are provided for each of five management blocks that were burned by Eglin AFB managers who applied a total of five operational prescribed surface fires in 2011 (forested blocks 608A and 703C), and 2012 (non-forested blocks L1G and L2G and forested block L2F).
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. Surface fuel maps were created so that surface fuel consumption could be compared to fire radiative energy density.
A short summary of the RxCADRE project can be found in the full data publication download (\Supplements\RxCADRE_Project_Overview.pdf). Information about the RxCADRE project can also be found here: https://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/fera/research/rxcadre/.
