These data include time lapse JPEG and CR2 format photographs, taken every 5 seconds, as well as MTS videos from burns of the 2012 Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE) at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Images are provided from five cameras located around the fire perimeter at various distances for each burn, taken in November 2012. There were two operational grass fires named L1G and L2G, and an operational forest fire named L2F. The photographic time series were collected for evaluation as a technique for determining plume velocities. A short summary of the RxCADRE project can be found in the full data publication download (\Supplements\RxCADRE_Project_Overview.pdf).
