This data publication contains high resolution temperature data via infrared thermography for the super highly instrumented plots (SHIPs) within four small replicate grass fires (S-units) burned in 2012 as part of the Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE). These data include infrared images and comma-delimited ASCII text files consisting of an array (x,y) of temperature values (z) representing pixels of the IR imaging device. The thermal data were obtained from a 4 x 4 meter super highly instrumented plot within each of the 100 x 200 meter S-units S5, S7, S8, and S9 at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. These data were collected to provide fine scale temperature measurements within the S-units. They provide detailed information on fire intensities and behavior within the S-units. These measurements coincided with an array of other fire behavior measurements from other devices to meet objectives of the RxCADRE experiment. A short summary of the RxCADRE project can be found in the full data publication download (\Supplements\RxCADRE_Project_Overview.pdf).
