Field measurements of fire behavior; fire radiative power and energy from infrared cameras for Eglin Air Force Base 2023

Field measurements collected during the 2023 study fires at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) to calculate
Fire Radiative Power (FRP) and Fire Radiative Energy (FRE) from infrared cameras in sandhill longleaf
pine. These field observations were co-located with three-dimensional fuel and laser scan plots to allow
for leveraging of these other data (see datasets from Loudermilk et al). Radiometers (see dataset from
Paki et al) were also deployed over the fuel plots at different locations than the infrared cameras and
are meant to be used with the infrared camera data.

This dataset is part of the Wildland Fire Science Initiative (WFSI) research burn campaign held at
Eglin Air Force Base from 3-11-2023 to 3-19-2023. In addition, pre- and post-fire data collection
occurred before and after these dates. See the most recent version of the contextual dataset “Eglin Air
Force Base 2023: Contextual data for Wildland Fire Science Initiative (WFSI) Research Burn Campaign” for
more information about the campaign (see Annotations section for hasMetadata link).
